Matthew Chapters 9-10

1) In Chapter 9, we find Jesus traveling through the area connecting with people as He went (see 9:35 for a summary).  What are the implications for us as we go about our every day lives?

2) We get an insight into Jesus’ heart in 9:36.  What do you see when you look at the people around you?  How do you respond to what you see?

3) In 9:37-38, Jesus tells His followers to ask God to send more workers.  Immediately after this, He sends His followers out (see Chapter 10).  Could it be that you are the solution to the needs around you?

Chapter 9 shows us the ministry of Jesus among the people.  Chapter 10 shows us how Jesus prepared His followers to do the same.  The plan for the Christian faith was never to watch our leader, but rather to follow our leader.

As you learn more about Jesus through the gospels this summer, be on the look out for how God would want you to live out the lessons you learn.
