Paul used every opportunity to live for Jesus in the present. He reframes all of his life, and all of the Scriptures, in light of the Gospel (Jesus’ work on the cross on our behalf). Jesus freely chose to become weak, like us, in order to live the life we should have lived and die the death we all should have died.
How can physical chains be a witness of Jesus?
How could they be part of God’s Glory?
Typically, do situations and hardships in your life lead you to shaking your head at God or make you more confident in Jesus?
What were the words that were spoken to you when you first believed in Jesus?
What was explained to you?
Jesus turns what everyone thought was a failure into God’s definite act of redemptive Grace
What does that mean and what impact does that have on your life?
Why could spending time with others and getting to know their preconceived ideas about Christianity be important?
How can we practice and get better at re-telling God’s story and intent for redemption?
How are you just like Cleopas?
What external element do you seek for God to fix in you?
What are your biases? How has God reframed your life and biases?
In what areas do you think you know better than God?
How do those areas pull you out of being able to live in God’s Grace?
Do you believe that you have been sent by God into the world in order to be an agent of reconciliation?
