Sunday School Quiz – Lesson 65: Revision – Beacon Park Baptist Church

#1 Mary and Joseph were a young couple who were planning to get married. One day they were visited by an angel. What news did the angel bring?

Mary would give birth to Jesus Christ the Son of God

That they should travel to Bethlehem

That they should not get married

Yes, the angel told Mary that she would have a baby that grow up to be the Saviour of the world. Mary and Joseph did not doubt the angel but trusted that this was God’s great plan.

#2 An angel also visited the shepherds who were caring for their sheep on the hills of Bethlehem on the night that Jesus was born. The angel told them the good news that the Saviour had been born in Bethlehem. How did the shepherd respond?

They were scared and ran away

They were interested in the news and decided to go and have a look in the morning

They went straight down into Bethlehem to find the baby Lord Jesus and worshipped Him.

Yes, the shepherds did not delay but left straight away to see the Saviour. We should follow their example and turn to him today.

#3 The Centurion we learned about came to Jesus because he had a servant that was extremely ill. He asked Jesus to heal his servant but did not want Jesus to come to his house. Why not?

He did not want people to know he had asked Jesus for help.

He knew he was a sinful man and did not feel worthy to have Jesus the Son of God in his house. He also believed that Jesus was powerful enough to heal his servant without even seeing him.

He was too busy to spend time waiting for the Lord Jesus as he had an important job in the Roman army.

Yes, the Centurion knew he had committed many sins and was not worthy to have the perfect Son of God in his house. He also believed that the Lord Jesus had great power and could heal his servant with just a word. The Lord Jesus knew this man’s heart and praised him for his great faith. Have we realised our own sinfulness? Do we believe that Jesus has power to save all who repent and believe?

#4 Jesus visited the house of sisters Mary and Martha. What did Mary do when the Lord Jesus arrived?

Mary stopped all the chores she was doing and sat down with the Lord Jesus to listen to his teachings and learn about how He came to save all those who will repent and believe.

Mary wanted the house to be very clean and tidy for the Lord Jesus’ visit, so she carried on with her chores.

Mary realised that they had run out of food so went to the market to buy some more.

Yes, Mary realised that listening to the words of the Saviour was the most important thing she could be doing.

#5 Zacchaeus climbed up a tree to get a good view of the Lord Jesus as He passed through the town. Jesus knew he was there and called to him. Many people did not like Zacchaeus. Why did they not like him?

a. Zacchaeus was a tax collector. It was his job to collect a small amount of money from everyone to pay the government. But Zacchaeus would steal too much money from the people and keep the rest for himself.

b. Zacchaeus was very clever and people were jealous of his cleverness.

c. Zacchaeus was better than them at football

Yes, Zacchaeus was a very corrupt man. He stole large amounts of money from people and became very rich whilst they were left very poor. After meeting with the Lord Jesus, he realised how wicked and sinful he had been. Zacchaeus repented and trusted in Jesus. His heart was changed, and he no longer wanted to steal from people. He gave back all the money he had stolen.

#6 A street woman went to a house where Jesus was staying. She did something unusual when she saw Jesus- she washed Jesus’ feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair and then put precious and expensive ointment on them. Why did she do this?

It was her job and she did this for everyone who came into the house

She hoped that Jesus would let her into heaven if she did a kind thing for Him.

She knew she was a very great sinner, and she was truly sorry for her sins. She believed that Jesus had come into the world to save sinners like her and she was so full of thankfulness for his wonderful love and forgiveness. She wanted to show her love to the Lord Jesus and used the most precious thing she owned which was the box of ointments.

Yes, the woman wanted to show the Lord Jesus how much she loved Him and how thankful she was for the forgiveness He had shown her. Jesus will forgive us too if we truly repent and believe.

#7 We learned about a man who confidently told the Lord Jesus that he was ready to be a disciple and follow Him wherever He went. The man’s words sounded good, but the Lord Jesus was not pleased with this man. Why was Jesus not pleased?

The Lord Jesus did not want any more disciples at that time so told him to go away.

The Lord Jesus knew what the man’s heart was like. He could see that the man was full of pride and had never truly repented of his sins.

The Lord Jesus thought that this man was too sinful

The Lord Jesus can see our hearts and our true thoughts. The Lord will forgive all those who truly repent and believe.

#8 We learned about children who came to see the Lord Jesus and how He loved and blessed them. When is the best time to turn to the Lord Jesus and ask for his forgiveness?

Now. When we are young is the best time to turn to the Lord Jesus.

Later. We don’t need to worry about turning to the Lord Jesus too soon. We can wait until we are older.

Never. Jesus loves us so he will let us into heaven anyway so we don’t need to worry.

Yes, we shouldn’t find excuses for not coming to the Lord Jesus but turn to him today.

#9 Jesus met a widow whose only son had just died. What did Jesus do to help her?

He brought her son back to life

He found her a new house to live in

He gave her lots of money

Yes, the Lord Jesus performed a wonderful miracle and brought the widows son back to life. The Bible says that are souls are dead but that the Lord Jesus can bring them back to life through his death on the cross of Calvary.

#10 Jesus was crucified next to two thieves. One of the thieves realised that Jesus was the true Son of God and repented of his sins. What did Jesus say to him?

Jesus said he had been too sinful all his life and could not be forgiven.

Jesus said “Today, thou shalt be with me in paradise”. This showed that his sins had been forgiven and he would be taken to heaven.

Jesus didn’t say anything to the thief.

Yes, the thief’s sins were all forgiven, and he was taken to heaven to be with the Lord Jesus forever. We too can receive this wonderful gift of eternal life if we trust in the Lord Jesus too.

#11 This series has taught us about many people who met with the Lord Jesus whilst He was on earth. The Lord Jesus is in heaven now so how can we know what He has to say to us today?

There is no way of knowing, we just have to guess.

By asking other people what they think

By reading the Bible

Yes, the Lord has given us a complete Bible which is like a letter He has written to us to tell us all about Himself and how we can know Him as our Lord and friend for all eternity. The Lord’s words in the Bible still teach us today.
