Lesson 7 The Lord of the Sabbath Chooses Twelve Apostles 1. Luke 6 begins with these words: “On a Sabbath.” When someone familiar with the Old Testament read this phrase, what would have immediately come to mind? 2. What was Jesus’ point in bringing up the example of David (6:3-4)? 3. “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath” (6:5). What does this claim mean? Why is it significant? 4. What is Luke’s point in recording Jesus’ healing of the man with a withered hand (6:6-11)? 5. “And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles” (6:13). What’s the difference? What does disciple mean? What does apostle mean? Is there any significance to the fact that Jesus spent all night in prayer to God (6:12) prior to naming these twelve men as apostles? 6. How would you summarize, in your own words, what Jesus is communicating in Luke 6:20-26? 7. Read and meditate on Luke 6:27-36. What does Jesus expect of his disciples when it comes to love? 8. Read and mediate on Luke 6:37-42. What does Jesus want us to understand and apply? 9. What is Jesus’ point in Luke 6:43-45? How does it relate to your own heart? 10. “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” (6:46)? In what way does this continue to resonate as a piercing question? How does the parable (6:47-49) drive Jesus’ point home?
