Luke 9:18-27
March 17, 202
Read Luke 9:18. Do you prefer to pray alone? Or would you rather pray with others? What are the benefits of each? Do you see any significance in the question Jesus asked His disciples?
Read Luke 9:19-20. Why do you think the “crowds” answered the way they did about the identity of Jesus? What do you think led to Peter’s answer? [The word “Christ” is Greek for the Hebrew “Messiah.” It is a title rather than a name. The Messiah is the anointed Savior. Israel expected a king from the Davidic line who would deliver them from foreign bondage and restore the glories of Israel.] What convinced Peter to say what he did? What convinces you about who Jesus is?
Read Luke 9:21-22. Why would Jesus discourage His followers from telling others about His identity? Should we be hesitant to tell others about who Jesus is?
Read Luke 9:23. How would you explain to someone what Jesus was asking of His followers?
Read Luke 9:24-26. What does it take for a person to adopt, or take on, an eternal view of life?
Read Luke 9:27. What do you think Jesus meant when He said that some would see the kingdom of God?
