1. While some might incorrectly look at parables as childish stories, what was Jesus’ stated reason for teaching the people in parables?
2. Knowing that the “kingdom” of which Jesus spoke is another word for His “church,” how did Jesus depict how valuable His church should be to us?
3. While some might disparage the need to be in Jesus’ church, how essential does Jesus make His kingdom to be in this chapter? Could one be outside of it and be ok?
4. What can I draw from this chapter to help me grow closer to Jesus, my King?
Answering the questions from this chapter is GOOD.
Applying the message of this chapter is BETTER.
Today’s purpose: Read. Reflect. Reconnect with Jesus.
One more thing: Pray about this today!
