We have now come to the central section of Luke’s gospel. If you’re reading the study guide you will note the author changes how he approaches the text at this point. As a result, it will require of us to be even more diligent in our reading and re-reading of the text. In addition, it is critical that we make notes as we go and list any questions or thoughts since the section is so much larger. It will be worth the effort if we apply ourselves with more dedication over the next several weeks.
Questions To Consider
1) Why would a person, knowing death awaited, go to it deliberately? How does Luke answer this question? Be specific.
2) Summarize the contents of Luke 9:51-13:30. What ideas do you find standing out in these chapters?
3) Summarize the picture of Jesus that Luke has given us as we arrive at 9:51.
4) If you are not presently follower of Jesus, what would prevent you from following Him today? If you are presently a follower of Jesus what is preventing you from becoming a more dedicated disciple of Jesus?
5) How can you reconcile Jesus’ denunciation of the Pharisees and the lawyers in 11:37-12:1 with his words in chapter 6 about loving enemies?
6) Why would someone oppose a closest blood relative because they decided to follow Jesus? Do you know of any such cases?
