"• LESSON 17 (May 1) •""Luke 16 • “God Knows Your Hearts”""1. Take the time to read Jesus’ parable in Luke 16:1-9. What is the point of this parable?""2. “For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons""of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings” (16:8-9). What is Jesus communicating to his disciples?""3. How would you summarize the principles taught by Jesus in Luke 16:10-12 in your own words?""What are those principles still teaching us?""4. Why does Jesus use such straightforward language in Luke 16:13?""5. What should we, as modern disciples of Jesus, remember and apply from Luke 16:14-15?""6. Why is Luke 16:16-17 an important piece of Luke’s “orderly account” for readers to understand?""7. In Luke 16:18, Jesus spoke of divorce and remarriage. Should we be concerned with such ancient""words? If so, why?""8. Carefully read Jesus’ words in Luke 16:19-31. What can we learn?""9. How should we look at this section of Luke’s “orderly account”? Is this a fairy tale? A parable? An""historical report?""10. What do you make of the conclusion in Luke 16:31? Does it somehow still apply to people today?"
