An Extraordinary Story: Through the Eyes of Luke
Week Three
Preaching Text: Luke 5:17-26 (NIV)
Additional Reading: Luke 5:27-6:26 (NIV)
Additional Questions:
Read through the text 3 times this week:
One time through the lens of the man who needs to be healed.
Another time through the lens of his friends.
Finally, through the lens of the Pharisees.
Upon each reading ask yourself: how does each person or group see Jesus? How does he respond to them?
Spend time contemplating your own thoughts on the way Jesus approaches forgiveness and healing in this passage. What questions do you have? Is there something new God wants to reveal to you?
