On a personal note....I'm sorry I am late getting this post up but I have been sick and fell behind. I hope that this won't make me behind next week too, but that may be the case. Thanks for being patient and understanding. :)
Now let's get to it!
Three
of the disciples witnessed the miraculous transfiguration of Jesus and soon
after they all see a demon driven out of a boy.
Jesus speaks to them about having faith and then provides another
miracle through the mouth of a fish.
Jesus indicates that they are children of a king (He is the king) and
therefore they shouldn’t have to pay taxes according to the ways of the
world. So the disciples have a concern.
What
did the disciples ask Jesus? Vs1
Who
did Jesus call and put among them? Vs2
What
did He say in answer to their question? Vs3
Who
is greatest? Vs4
Think
of ways that a child is lowly and write them down:
What
did Jesus add to His answer for the disciples? Vs5
Jesus
defines in this verse, what a “child” is; what did He say? Vs6
What
will it be like for anyone who causes one to stumble?
Who
will face “woe” for causing people to stumble? Vs7
What
did Jesus say about our own hand or foot? Vs8a
Why?
Vs8b
What
about if our eye causes us to stumble (sin)? Vs9
Why?
What
point is being made here? Does Jesus
want us to physically hurt ourselves?
Why
did Jesus say to them, not to despise or think low of another little one?
Vs10
There
isn’t a verse 11 because some manuscripts include Luke 9:10 as verse 11 and
others do not.
How
would Luke 9:10 fit with this teaching?
Jesus
now puts this teaching into context.
What does He say about a man owning one hundred sheep? Vs12
Why
would He be happier about the one than the ninety-nine? Vs13
What
does God the Father not want to have happen? Vs14
What
are we to point out to a brother or sister? Vs15
How
are we to do this?
How
will you know if they are being restored?
What
do you do if they don’t listen? Vs16
Why
do this?
How
does this compare with Deuteronomy 19:15?
In
these verses, what do you think is the definition of a brother or sister….a
sibling?
What
if the one you are trying to correct still refuses to listen? Vs17
Read these references and write a
conclusion of what they tell you: Romans 16:17, 1 Corinthians 5:1-2, 2 Thessalonians
3:6-14, 2 Corinthians 13:7-9,
1 Corinthians 6:1-6
Keeping
in mind the three verses prior; what do you think Jesus is talking about in
this verse, what will be bound or loosed? Vs18
If
two or more are witnesses together, asking God for something, what will happen?
Vs19
Why?
Vs20
You have probably heard this verse quoted
before. How does the meaning change for
you after seeing it in this context?
Because
Jesus tells them to forgive and accept a brother back that has repented or
listened to their correction; what is Peter’s question in response? Vs21
What
did Jesus say? Vs22
Be
honest with yourself….is this hard for you to accept?
Jesus
then tells a parable to help them understand this point. What is the kingdom of heaven like? Vs23
How
does the settlement start? Vs24
What
did the king order for the man’s settlement? Vs25
What
did the man do? vs26
What
did the king/master do? vs27
What
did the servant/man do in response? Vs28
What
did the fellow servant/man do? vs29
How
did the man respond to this servant?
(Keep in mind this is the same man that the king had pity on and
cancelled his large debt) Vs30
when
others saw this, how did they feel and what did they do? vs31
What
did the king do? vs32
What
did he ask the man in light of this? Vs33
What
did the angered king do? vs34
What
did Jesus tell the disciples about this story and forgiveness? Vs35
In
this parable, who is the king?
Who
is the first servant?
