Watch our “Conversations with God” dramatic dialogue from last week and then consider the questions below:
CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT THE DRAMA
The woman in the drama has caught a
glimpse of the long-term plan for Jesus and this is what prompts her to anoint
him. Have you ever thought about God’s
long-term plan for the world? What do
you think it is? How does the thought of God having a plan give you hope or
make you uneasy?
The woman and God share their
frustration about trying to get the disciples to understand what is actually
going on with Jesus. If you are willing,
share a time when you felt frustrated when trying to share your faith with
someone else? Is there anyone in your
life that you wish you could get to see things differently?
The disciples tell the woman that she
should have sold the oil and given the money to the poor. Why do you think Jesus (who was always
standing up for the poor) affirmed the women’s choice to use the oil? How do you understand Jesus’ statement that
“we will always have the poor with you but you will not always have me?”
A WORD FOR THE ROAD
We encouraged you to recite
and memorize the theme verse below throughout the week as a way of keeping
the Conversation with God going throughout the week.
