when we don’t have very much, we are likely to keep away from other people , if we don’t have much, we won’t be worried that our things will get damaged or that being with people who don’t have much make us look bad , when we don’t own a large number of things we are likely to develop good relationships

the kind of wealth jesus warned us again is the kind that leads us to value things more than people, the kind of wealth jesus warned us against really brings sorrow, not joy.

A

when we don’t love enough to hurt inside when other people are hurting, our lives are shallow and our friendships have no roots, the people who are laughing have not even noticed that there are problems needing fixing

A

people who see that the world is not what it should be have taken the first step in living life god’s way, if we share in the struggle of those who are hurting, if we are willing to love people so much that their tears become our tears, we will have the same kind of loving relationship

we are blessed when we are willing to do what we believe is right even if other people tease us, when we can make our own choices even when our peers make fun of us, we have found true freedom.

this may make it harder for you to do the right thing. the more you have to lose, the harder it will be for you to speak the truth

why did jesus teach the people “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you”

A

the road to happiness is found by those who are strong enough to love even in the face of hate, hate prevents a person from being really happy, people who are kind are really free to be themselves

someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. Do for others just what you want them to do for you.”?

A

Real friendships are based on caring; true friends help and support each other even when they get little in return; if we want to find true happiness, we will give because we care about our friends, not because we expect to get something back.

condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you.”?

A

If we do not want God to judge us, we should not judge other people; if we do not want God to punish us for our mistakes, we should not punish others for theirs; if we want God to forgive us, we must forgive other people who hurt us.

35
Q

What is Jesus talking about when he speaks of a speck in our brother’s eye and a log in our own?

A

We are the person with a log in our eye when we think that someone else deserves all the blame for a problem in our lives; before we try to correct other people, we must first look at what we could do differently; we will be happier people if we spend less time trying to change those around us and more time learning to recognize the things in ourselves that need improvement and that we have the power to change.

36
Q

Which of the following statements apply to the lesson taught by Jesus in this parable? The Beatitudes (Luke 6: 20-42)

A

We can be a genuine son/daughter of the Father–who is spiritually “alive”–and be “lost” through sin. We can turn our backs on our heavenly Father and leave him of our own free will; we can, however, return to the Father and be accepted by him with great joy. In fact, he is ready and eager to accept us back and forgive us, no matter what we’ve done; Christians who have never fallen should not resent those who come back. They should share in their Father’s joy.

god

38

The Labourers in the Vineyard (Matthew: 20:1-16)

What is the lesson Jesus is teaching in this parable?

A

god wants us all to have what we need and to rejoice when others have what they need.

It is never too late to begin doing what God wants us to do: to begin living in the kingdom of God.

39
Q 
The Sower (Mathew 13: 3-8, 18-23) 
Who is Jesus referring to when he says, “Once there was a man who went out to sow grain. As 
he scattered the seed in the field, some of it fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.”?
A

Those who hear the message about the Kingdom but do not understand it. The Evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in them.

40
Q

Who is Jesus referring to when he says, “Some of it fell on rocky ground, where there was little
soil. The seeds soon sprouted, because the soil wasn’t deep. But when the sun came up, it burned the young plants; and because the roots had not grown deep enough, the plants soon dried up.”?

A

The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who receive the message gladly as soon as they hear it. It does not sink deep into them, and they don’t last long. When trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once.

41
Q

Who is Jesus referring to when he says, “Some of the seed fell among thorn bushes, which
grew up and choked the plants.”?

A

Those who hear the message; but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don’t bear fruit.

42
Q

Who is Jesus talking about when he says, “But some seeds fell in good soil, and the plants bore
grain: some had one hundred grains, others sixty, and others thirty.”?

A

The seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it.

43
Q

Yeast (Matthew 13: 31-33)

What is Jesus saying about the kingdom of God in this parable?

A

The kingdom of God, beginning with these tiny insignificant beginnings, becomes a great power in the world. The mustard plant is the kingdom. The branches of that mustard plant represent the Christians. The power contained within that yeast is not activated unless it is mixed and kneaded into the dough; so it is with all of us. We must be in the world to effect its transformation.

44
Q

The Unmerciful Servant (Matthew 18: 23-35)

What is the lesson Jesus is teaching us in this parable?

A

When we ask God for forgiveness, he shows us mercy and forgives our sins, no matter how great the sin is. God expects us to also show mercy and forgiveness to others who hurt us with their sin. If we are not willing to forgive others who hurt us, then we should not expect God to forgive us when we sin against Him.

45
Q

The Two Sons (Matthew 21: 28-32)

What is the lesson Jesus is teaching us in this parable?

A

Neither son in the parable treated his father with due respect and obedience, just as neither hypocrisy nor greed and lust please God. The one who “changed his mind” and went into the fields cheered his father’s heart more than the other. Even if we tend to grumble at God’s will when first we discover it, we can make his heart rejoice if we obey.

46

Q

The Wedding Feast (Matthew 22: 2-10)
