Download: .doc | .pdf
Chapter 2:
Why do you think God sent the angels to the shepherds? Do you think there is any connection between God sending the angels to the shepherds and how John the Baptist describes Jesus in John 1:29? What was the response of the shepherds after hearing this proclamation? Why were they so excited? What did they do after they visited Jesus?
Describe in your own words what happened after the Passover when Jesus was 12 years old. How long did Mary and Joseph look for Him? Where was Jesus? What was He doing there? What was His reasoning for being there?
Chapter 3:
What was Luke’s occupation? Is it any wonder, then, that Luke gives us so much detail as to times and dates when he writes the gospel that bears his name? Are details a good thing? What is the benefit of having so much detailed information?
In the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:23-38, why does Luke say that “being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph”? Who is Jesus’ Father? Who is His mother? Are there any other interesting names found in this genealogy? Which ones and why?
Chapter 4:
In verses 16-30, we see a different culture than ours. When Jesus read in the synagogue, was He standing or sitting? When He taught in the synagogue, did He stand or sit? How does this differ from today?
What verses did Jesus read? What are the action verbs that we see in this quotation? How do they apply to Jesus, since He told us they applied to Him? What is the importance of Jesus pointing out the fact that these verses applied to Him?
Chapter 5:
Why did Jesus teach from the boat instead of on the shore? Do you think He chose a boat at random or do you think He chose a specific one? What does this say about all of the actions of Jesus? What does this say about they way He guides and directs my life, today? Why should this be an encouragement?
When Jesus asked Simon (soon to be Peter) to let down his nets, what was Simon’s response? Why did he cooperate? What does this say about Simon’s respect for Jesus? Was that respect and trust well placed? How do we know that? What was Simon’s reaction when they nets were filled? How did Jesus change Simon’s occupation? What did the fishermen do when they arrived on the shore? How can this be an example to us today?
Chapter 6:
What is Jesus talking about in verses 20-26? Summarize this. How do the first four verses differ from the last three? What is Jesus teaching here? Do we need this teaching to our lives? How can we do that?
Jesus ends the chapter by teaching about two foundations. What are they? What is the difference? What does each foundation represent? Which one are you standing on? Is it the right one? How can you help your friend stand on the right one?
