Red Letters Trivia Quiz

Answer: My Father's

At twelve years old, Jesus travelled with his parents to Jerusalem for the Passover. Jesus had stayed behind in Jerusalem without his earthly parents knowing that he wasn't with them when they left. After they found him missing, Mary and Joseph travelled back to Jerusalem to find Jesus.

After finding him in the temple, they told him they were looking for him anxiously. Jesus gave his parents this response, basically reminding them that he was the Son of God, and that he answered to his Heavenly Father.

Answer: righteousness

Matthew 3:13-15 says that when Jesus came to John to be baptized, John said that Jesus should be the one to baptize him. Jesus countered with this statement, and John baptized Jesus. This is similar to the account of Peter initially refusing to let Jesus wash his feet, saying that Peter should do the washing of Jesus' feet.

While being the Son of God, Jesus had a servant's heart, and often lived his life according to that philosophy.

Answer: worship

Jesus allowed himself to be tempted by Satan in order to allow himself to experience temptation in human form. He resisted all three temptations the devil attempted to use. Because of this, Jesus' followers know that any temptation that they are dealt, Jesus will help them through it, because he went through it himself.

Answer: No

The red letters in John 2:4 say, "Woman, what does your concern have to do with me? My hour has not yet come." Mary instructed the servants to do what Jesus told them to do. Ultimately, Jesus turned water into wine, and those at the feast were none the wiser.

Answer: Adultery

The Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus, saying that the law indicated that she should be stoned. Jesus said, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." This was his way of saying that everyone sins, everyone makes mistakes, and no one (aside from him) is perfect.

When the Pharisees realized this, they left the woman with Jesus. Jesus asked her, "Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" When she said that no one had, he said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more." The original phrase from John 8:7 is used, in part, by many people to basically say that no one is perfect, and to not be judgmental of others.

Answer: forgiven

Jesus always reminded his followers that they are sinful creatures, just like everyone else. Because of this, they were to treat others the way he would have; free of condemnation, and full of forgiveness.

Answer: life

Jesus said this because he knew that he was the only way to God. No other person or religion would lead anyone to God. Christians believe that, without Jesus, man would never know God in the way that would lead them to eternal life.

Answer: faith

The woman believed that, if she could simply touch the hem of Jesus' robe as he walked by, she would be healed from her bleeding. When she touched him, he felt power leave him, and knew someone had touched him. Because of the woman's faith in Jesus and his healing power, she was healed.

Answer: gospel

Shortly after speaking these words, it is recorded that Jesus ascended into heaven. "The Great Commission" is what Christians are called to; preaching the gospel of Christ to everyone who will listen. The truth of the gospel is one that Jesus believed all people, from all over the world, should hear.

Answer: quickly

Jesus spoke this line as a warning to all, telling them that one day he would return to Earth. Most of Christianity believes that Jesus will return one day, and take his followers to heaven. No one knows when, but Jesus himself said he was coming back soon.
