3 November 2024
1. Why is the Gospel so divisive?
2. What did “taking up a cross” mean to the people in Matthew’s time? Why would Jesus say we must take up our cross? Can you give some specific examples to illustrate how we do this?
3. What does Jesus mean in verse 39? What life or lives is he talking about?
4. What does it say about us if we do not receive the type of people listed in verses 41-42? Who are we actually receiving when we do?
5. Why do we find it so difficult to prioritize Christ and discipleship in our lives? What does God promise us in doing so?
6. How can you make Christ, the Gospel and discipleship a priority?
