Discussion Questions:
Old Testament
- God specified the Passover meal be eaten in one house (the food could not be carried outside), and that no bone of the passover lamb could be broken. Is there any significance to these instructions? Exodus 12:46.
- What is a “hardened heart?” And why did Pharaoh have one? Exodus 14:1-4.
- Why does God single out the seven sins named in Proverbs 6:16-19?
New Testament
- Is it “fair” for the man who worked a full day to receive only a day’s wage,
when that’s the same pay received by the worker who worked only a short
time at the very end of the day? Matthew 20:1-16. How does this story relate
to the kingdom of heaven? - Matthew 22:23-32 contains the Sadducees’ question about widow who marries the seven brothers who die in succession. What is the significance of this story?
