DISCUSSION TOPIC:
Obedience To God

BIBLE READING:
Luke 11: 27-36

Qs. 2, 4. See Questions HERE.

DISCUSSION:

Observe that in vs. 27-28 Jesus emphasised the importance of hearing and obeying God's word in contrast to merely confessing the obvious truth.

What does Jesus mean by the sign of Jonah (v. 30.see also Matt. 12:40)? Many people in our generation, like the Jews, are also looking for signs and miracles before they will believe in Christ. How does your attitude to the gospel compare with that of the people of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba (vs. 31-32)?

The birth, death and resurrection of Jesus are already enough evidence for anyone to believe that God sent Him for our salvation. If the people of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba could turn to God with fewer evidences, our generation has no excuse for not accepting the gospel and receiving the salvation that Christ brought for us.

Read verse 33-36 again. When we receive Jesus, His light shines in our heart and we become children of light (Eph. 5:8-14). Those who reject Jesus remain in darkness.

What next?

With the Bible, easily available and accessible today, we have enough reasons to readily and sincerely respond to Jesus.

Prayer:

Pray that you will hear Jesus clearly when you read the Bible and obey Him daily.
