Keep Your Garage Door Open – Week 1

Luke 10:25-37

 Neighboring expresses what we believe about Jesus, ourselves, and others.

And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
(Luke 10:25)

He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.” (Luke 10:26-28)

But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29)

 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Luke 10:25-37

Head

• As a group, work together to describe the setting in which this lawyer is asking Jesus about eternal life. 
• What do you think it means when it says that the lawyer stood up to put him to the test?
• What do you make of the lawyer’s response to Jesus when he’s asked about how he reads the Law?
• Why do you think the lawyer asks “who is my neighbor?”

Heart

• How have you experienced the love of God through a neighbor?
• How does loving God and loving people become part of who you are and love, rather than something you do? How might that shift in your attitude change you and your ways?
• How have your interactions with your neighbors expressed what you believe about Jesus, yourself, and others?

Hands

• Who is a neighbor of yours that you need to connect with this week?
