April 28th, 2008Becoming Like Jesus
1. Read Mark 1:16-20: In Mark’s gospel, Jesus’ call to the disciples comes abruptly. Recall how Jesus first came to you. Was it sudden and abrupt or slow and deliberate? Make it a goal to relate your salvation experience to someone soon when an opportune moment arises.
What do you think went through the minds of these individuals when they heard Jesus say to them, “Follow me”?
What does it mean to you that you are to be following Jesus every day of your life?
List some specific ways that you want to be more like Jesus this week:
2. Read 1 Peter 2:21-25:In many ways, these verses give the basis for Christian behavior. As Christians, our light will shine brightest during difficult times-times when we suffer. What do these verses say about our actions during a difficult time?
How do you think Christians in another country might read these verses differently than you do?
3. Read John 4:34: What’s your favorite food? If actions were like food, what would be your favorite lunch? For Jesus, His food was to do the Father’s will. What steps do you need to take so that doing the Father’s will is your meal for today?
4. Read John 13:1-11: Whether it’s the first century or the twenty first century, washing another person’s feet is a lowly job. What are you going to do in order to serve others (to wash their feet)?
How can you make such service a lifestyle?
5. Read Mark 1:35; 3:13; 6:31, 46: What do you see Jesus doing? Are you doing the same things? Why or why not?
