Sermon Discussion Questions
1. Why do you think moving a boundary stone was important for the Israelites to hear? Have you ever had a "boundary" dispute, and how could this affect your outlook on this passage?
2. How does John 14 encourage you when you think of land possessions here and in the future?
3. How do you think the idea of two or three witnesses helped this society? Do you see this helping in our society today?
4. What other passages (other than Jesus' trial) help us understand and support these two or three witnesses' mandates?
5. Have you ever wanted to take someone else's eye (or something else because they did something to you and you wanted revenge)? How did you ensure you responded not in anger but in love?
6. What do you think Jesus was saying about this passage in Matthew 5?
