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. After Jesus’ resurrection, he walked with the 2 men on the Road to Emmaus ( Luke 24:13-35).
Why do you think they didn’t recognize Him?
Do you think they were expecting Him?
Could it be that we do not recognize Jesus walking right alongside us because we are not expecting Him to be?
2. In Bible times, women had very low expectations in life. They moved about as shadows in society who had no rights and were treated as property. Read each passage and note how Jesus sought to raise expectations for each of these women He encountered in light of the culture of His day.
Women were not allowed to associate with men in public: Luke 8:1-2
Women were not allowed to testify in court and viewed as unreliable witnesses: John 20:16-17
Women were not allowed to study under a Rabbi’s teaching: Luke 10:38-4
In the Old Testament, men were referred to as “sons of Abraham.” What did Jesus call the woman with the crippled back? Luke 13:15-16 What does that mean to you as a woman. Share your answer in the comment box.
3. Consider making the words of Psalm 118:24 the first words of expectant living that pass your lips each morning.
4. What one truth meant the most to you in today’s lesson? Share your answer.
