Understand the Passage
- Why do you think the Pharisees questioned Jesus about divorce? (Remember what got John the Baptist in trouble with Herod) What was their real objective with the question?
- Why do you think the disciples tried to keep the children from Jesus?
- Why were Jesus' comments about rich people entering the kingdom of Heaven so surprising to the disciples?
Application
- In what ways do we incorrectly weigh people's worth or favor with God based on their wealth or social status? How does it impact our relationships?
- What "attachments" do we hold on to that keep us from following Jesus?
- What teachings of Jesus do you find the "hardest" to follow? Why?
- What does it mean for you to be "last" in your marriage / family? In what areas do you insist on being first?
