Luke 23:33-43 Sunday School Lessons & Activities

The Gospel reading for Sunday November 24, 2019 is Luke 23:33-43. Here are some lesson plans and teaching activities to help you plan for your Sunday School lesson.

This can be a little challenging to transition to a lesson on the crucifixion right before the start of the Christmas season, but it’s a great reminded of why Jesus came to our world. His ultimate ministry and gift to humanity was the sin-atoning sacrifice on the cross. These lesson ideas will help set that in mind before we launch into all the themes of Advent.

Jesus is Crucified

And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, โ€œFather, forgive them, for they know not what they do.โ€ And they cast lots to divide his garments. 35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, โ€œHe saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!โ€ 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37 and saying, โ€œIf you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!โ€ 38 There was also an inscription over him, โ€œThis is the King of the Jews.โ€

39ย One of the criminals who were hangedย railed at him,ย saying, โ€œAre you notย the Christ? Save yourself and us!โ€ย 40ย But the other rebuked him, saying, โ€œDo you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?ย 41ย And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.โ€ย 42ย And he said, โ€œJesus, remember meย when you come into your kingdom.โ€ย 43ย And he said to him,ย โ€œTruly, I say to you, today you will be with me inย paradise.โ€ โ€“Luke 23:33-43 NIV


Luke 23:33-43 for Kids

ย International Childrenโ€™s Bible (ICB)

33ย Jesus and the two criminals were taken to a place called the Skull. There the soldiers nailed Jesus to his cross. They also nailed the criminals to their crosses, one beside Jesus on the right and the other beside Jesus on the left.ย 34ย Jesus said,ย โ€œFather, forgive them. They donโ€™t know what they are doing.โ€

The soldiers threw lots to decide who would get his clothes. 35 The people stood there watching. The leaders made fun of Jesus. They said, โ€œIf he is Godโ€™s Chosen One, the Christ, then let him save himself. He saved other people, didnโ€™t he?โ€

36 Even the soldiers made fun of him. They came to Jesus and offered him some vinegar. 37 They said, โ€œIf you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!โ€ 38 (At the top of the cross these words were written: โ€œTHIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.โ€)

39 One of the criminals began to shout insults at Jesus: โ€œArenโ€™t you the Christ? Then save yourself! And save us too!โ€

40 But the other criminal stopped him. He said, โ€œYou should fear God! You are getting the same punishment as he is. 41 We are punished justly; we should die. But this man has done nothing wrong!โ€ 42 Then this criminal said to Jesus, โ€œJesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!โ€

43ย Then Jesus said to him,ย โ€œListen! What I say is true: Today you will be with me in paradise!โ€
