Luke 10:1-24

Luke 10:1-24
-
Have you worked on a difficult project lately? How did you feel when you completed it?
-
What kind of qualifications do you think the people Jesus sent out had? College degree? Preaching, teaching or missionary experience? Business management? What does this suggest about the kinds of people Jesus wants to work for him?
-
In verse 10:2, what did Jesus instruct the 72 disciples to do? Is this something that you could or should do today?
-
Why did Jesus not want his disciples to greet people along the road? (10:4) Why did Jesus not want his disciples to move from one house to another? (10:7) There are two messages for us here: one as a worker and one as a host; what are they?
-
In 10:12, Jesus refers to Sodom. What happened there? Why did Jesus say that a town that rejected his disciples would suffer even more than Sodom? (Genesis 19) And why would it be worse for Korazon and Bethsaida than Tyre and Sidon?
-
The town of Capernaum was Jesus’ base for his Galilean ministry. It was an important crossroad for traders and the Roman army so what happened there and was said there would spread far. Why did Jesus say that it would “go down to the depths?” (10:15)
-
In 10:20, why did Jesus tell his disciples “do not rejoice that spirits submit to you?” Hint: there are two major reasons. (Proverbs 8:13, 16:18, 29:23, Exodus 32:32, Ezekiel 13:9, Daniel 12:1, Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 20:12, 20:15, 21:27)
-
What in the disciples report gave Jesus reason for joy? (10:21)
-
In 10:21, Jesus seems to be opposed to wisdom and learning. Why? What is he saying in this verse?
-
What does Jesus mean by his blessing in 10:23? Do you feel blessed because you know Jesus? Do you feel you are in a privileged position today? What comes along with the privilege of knowing Christ?
