Gospel of Matthew - Week 18

Scripture Reading: Matthew 25

Understand the Passage
  1. How did the wise bridesmaids respond when asked to help the ones who weren't prepared? How did the bridegroom respond when some bridesmaids wanted to come to the wedding late?
  2. How did the master react to the report of the first servant? The second? How did the master respond to the third servant's explanation?
  3. How will the "sheep" respond to Jesus' words on that day?
Application
  1. What spiritual preparation do you need to make today in order to "keep watch"? What distractions prevent us from being prepared?
  2. With what talents and resources has God entrusted to you? What level of responsibility do you feel for those talents/resources?
  3. How would your behavior change if you treated each person in your life as if he or she were Jesus?
  4. What else did you learn?
