SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS Matthew 21:28-32
1. It is possible to be a dutiful and observant Christian, and yet feel there is something missing. It makes such a difference when your heart is in what you are doing so much better than just going through the motions.
Where do you experience that most in your life?
2. The desire of Jesus for us is that we grow in that kind of committed, enthusiastic involvement in life.
What encourages you to grow in this way?
3. The elders probably thought well of themselves in contrast to the tax collectors and sinners. Perhaps you know some unconventional people, ones who appear to ignore the right way of doing things, and yet they have taught you something about true goodness.
