Luke 6:37-45 Jesus’ Most Popular Teaching
Opening Question
- Has anyone ever quoted Jesus to you when you were confronting them about their behavior and they responded, “But Jesus said, do not judge?” Have you ever said it yourself? What were the circumstances and how did you respond?
Study Questions
Read Luke 6:37-45
- To whom is Jesus speaking in these verses? How does that affect the way that we interpret vv.37-38 in particular? How do we keep from becoming self-righteous?
- Sometimes scholars have struggled with seeing how these verses all work together. How would you explain the way the two parables of a speck in the eye and the blind leading the blind have to do with each other?
- What does it mean to bear good fruit? Most people would say that they are not content with the fruit that they are bearing. How could you grow to bear more fruit?
Application
- What sin do you have in your own life that you are minimizing that causes you to fail to desire mercy for others? Confess to others your struggle and pray for one another that God would give you victory over it.
