Do you think miracles still happen? Why or why not? 

Episode Questions 

1. In the episode when Jesus mentioned “everyone has had wilderness experiences,” what  do you think He meant? 

2. In history, the Jewish Zealots justified using force and violence to preserve their religion.  What is Jesus’ way of bringing people to faith in God? 

3. The paralyzed man and his brother both responded to pain and suffering in different  ways – yet ways that would not end their pain. What is your default to ease your pain  but really doesn’t help? 

4. In the episode, when Jesus was asked why He didn’t wait until sundown to perform the  miracle, He replied, “Sometimes you have to stir up the water.” What do you think He  meant?
