- What can you learn from Jesus’ parables that you can use in your own life?
- If you would have heard Jesus’ sermon, what do you think you would have done? Would you have followed him?
- Why did Jesus’ teaching bother some of the religious leaders?
- Jesus explained that he is the “bread of life” – the source of sustenance and satisfaction. What can you do to gain a deeper satisfaction in your relationship with Jesus?
