Suffering Glory

Luke 24

With a friend, your family or in your small group, discuss the following questions:

1. The disciples were doubting Jesus, yet still gathered together. What do you do when you face times of doubt? What do we gain by sharing our doubts with others, how does it impact ourselves and others?
2. Read John 20:29. In Luke 24:39, Jesus offers up his pierced hands and feet to the disciples to reassure their doubts. How does God reassure your faith and doubts when you aren’t able to physically see his pierced hands or feet?
3. Jesus mentions how He is hungry in front of His disciples. Why do you think Luke included this detail? What does it mean for Jesus to have a resurrected physical body?
4. How do we balance the vertical aspect of our faith, praising and worshipping God, with the horizontal aspect of our faith, loving our neighbours? Is there a perfect balance? Are there seasons you focus more on than the other?
5. Where do you feel like you’re scattered at the moment? Where is a place you feel God is called you to be a life-giving and transformative presence?
