Week 14 <\/b><\/font> Discussion Notes:1<\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kempis wrote in Chapter 6 about the benefits of having a clear conscience. Is a good conscience a subjective matter? Is it possible to have a good conscience (i.e. a mental state) when we ought to have remorse for our sin? (Day 93)<\/li>\n
  2. Kempis wrote in Chapter 7, “Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death; trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.”<\/i> You may object to this passage on the grounds that you have friends and family who would never desert you in times of need. Never?<\/i> What Kempis writes seems harsh in that context. Yet the problem with every relationship with every other human being is that there are human beings involved. (Days 94 & 95)<\/li>\n
  3. In Chapter 7, Kempis wrote, “Give up all other love for His [God’s], since He wishes to be loved alone above all things. Affection for creatures is deceitful and inconstant, but the love of Jesus is true and enduring.”<\/i> Can’t human love be good and pure too? (Day 95)<\/li>\n
  4. Kempis wrote in Chapter 8, “WHEN Jesus is near, all is well and nothing seems difficult. When He is absent, all is hard.”<\/i> Is this summary too simple? Do you agree? Also, when is Jesus absent? (Day 97)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
