I Just Can’t Get Enough
Luke 22:1-6

Getting Started:
1. Have you ever felt “betrayed?” What happened?


Going Deeper:
2. Read Luke 4:13 and Luke 22:3. If these two verses are connected, what do you think may have made this time “opportune?”

3. Where in Scripture can you learn more about Judas’ disposition toward money?

4. In Luke 22:3 it says that Satan entered Judas. In the verses that follow, the actions that Judas took are credited to Judas. In what way do you think Satan was directly responsible for Judas’ actions and in what way do you think Judas was responsible for his own actions?

5. Read 1Timothy 6:17-19. Look at the contrast between putting hope in wealth and putting hope in God. What would it look like to make that command more realistic in your life? Is there anything you would have to change? Are there any attitudes you would have to adjust?

6. In Luke 22:1, the chief priests and teachers of the law are looking for a way to get rid of Jesus. Why? What was the sentiment of the people regarding Jesus?

7. Judas ultimately betrays Jesus with a kiss in Luke 22:47. What is ironic about this action? Do you think Judas had any idea that he was being used by the devil?


Putting it into practice:
8. In your life, where have you experienced the most significant challenge in staying strong in your walk with Christ?
