Day four of each week has extra Bible study questions that are not in the Bible Study Guide. These are for on-line Bible study participants who want to dig a little deeper.
1. When a married couple grows apart, that usually means the two have planted their feet firmly in the ground as two individuals, sunk down deep roots to form two separate lives, and have sprouted growth that has nothing in common.
As a review of what you’ve already discovered in question 6, what is our relationship with Jesus to resemble? Romans 11:17-18.
Jesus is called the Root of Jesse. What happens when a branch is grafted onto a strong healthy stalk?
What happens when we are grafted onto the divine nature of Jesus Christ?
How does this relate to what we learned about “abiding” in Christ in chapter 3?
2. When Jesus spoke to Saul on the Road to Damascus, what did He ask him? (Acts 9:4)
Was he persecuting Jesus, per se, or the Christian church? What does that tell you about how Jesus views Christians in regard to union with Him?
What does Ephesians 1:23 say about the church? Consider this paraphrase of Ephesians 1:23 in your answer: “The church is Christ’s body, in which he fills everything with his presence,” (MSG).
3. One of the names for the Holy Spirit is the Greek word parakletos (John 14:16). It is translated helper, comforter, intercessor and means one who comes alongside to help.
How does that fit the beautiful picture of union with the Trinity? Share your answer in the comment box.
