SESSION ONE<br />

JESUS INVITES YOU<br />

20 21<br />

1. In this conversation recorded in Matthew, <strong>Jesus</strong> was not telling<br />

the religious leaders something they’d never heard. He was<br />

quoting from their sacred text, the Torah (our Old Testament).<br />

But He was putting two commands together in a new way.<br />

How are loving God and loving others linked? Can you do one<br />

without doing the other?<br />

5. How could you suspend your disbelief about <strong>Jesus</strong> during this<br />

study, as we were challenged to do in the video segment?<br />

2. If love is the most important commandment, why do religions<br />

have so many rules?<br />

3. In the video, Dean said that the gospel is not a creed, it’s a<br />

person. What do you think that means?<br />

4. Is your experience with <strong>Jesus</strong> more about following rules or<br />

having a relationship?
