Discipleship Question: Are you living a holy and peaceable life that is attractive to others?
Often our concern is primarily with the outside behaviour not the inside attitudes, Jesus challenges this.
- As you read this text what questions and thoughts are raised?
- Jesus equates lust with adultery, how do you feel about this?
- Jesus solution is a radical one. Most people believe he is not literally saying 'pluck out your eye' but is using an analogy to make a strong point that has been termed 'radical amputation' by some. What do you think?
- Are you prepared to take Jesus seriously in dealing with any sin in your life? If not, why not?
- Write down what you believe is an issue in your life the God wants to deal with and change.
- What would you need to get rid of to help you live in holiness in this area of your life? (Example: If pornography is a problem you may need to get rid of internet access.) Create a list, prioritise them and then ask God what he is asking you to do and do it!
