The King Heals [Luke 5:12-32]
Sermon Discussion Questions
- King Jesus has both a wide scope of healing and his healing has significance in our lives. How big is the scope of Jesus healing? Does Jesus meet more than just the physical needs of those he encounters?
- Following Jesus is hardly a spectator sport. How did Jesus meet the needs of the three individuals he met, the Leper, the Paralytic, and Levi the Tax Collector? What were the responses of these three after the healing of Jesus?
- All the various needs that Jesus met are all broken needs we have today. Ryan listed off many different needs we share due to the first sin of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. If we still die, and sin, what is the significance of Jesus healing in our lives today?
- Ryan said that these stories of the works of Jesus are "brochures of the coming world." What is our role in Jesus healing ministry that points to the coming world and how did Ryan encourage us as a church to continue in this work?
- Some of the hardest realities of reading the miracles of Jesus, is experiencing similar suffering without immediate healing in our own lives and the lives of those we love. There is a temptation to despair; we fear we will never heal. How do you hang onto the promise of Jesus to heal all things when you face this temptation?
