Luke 11:14-36
-
Jesus performed a miracle (casting out a demon) and there were four reactions to it. What were they? Hint: Jesus responds to each reaction in verses 17-23, 24-26, 27-28, 29-32.
-
The first reaction: By whose power did some think that Jesus could drive out demons? (2 Kings 1:16-17) What did the name Beelzebub come to represent?
-
Jesus refutes the idea that he was driving out demons by Beelzebub in two ways. Summarize the first part of Jesus’ first argument in Verses 17-18. (Matthew 7:22, Luke 9:49-50, and Acts 19:13-16)
-
Jesus makes his point another way in Verses 19-20. Explain.
-
In Verses 21-22, how does Jesus makes his second argument that he was not acting on behalf of Beelzebub? (Isaiah 49:24-26)
-
The second reaction: Verse 23 says that those who are negative to Jesus are his enemies. What about those who are neutral?
-
What happens to people who are neutral? Can you resist Satan on your own? (Vs 24-26)
-
The third reaction: How did Jesus respond to the woman who called out a blessing to his mother? Was the focus of the woman right or wrong? Why? What can we learn from her?
-
The fourth reaction: After a very dramatic miracle, why did some people still want a sign from heaven?
-
What was Jesus’ response to those who wanted a sign? (Vs 29-32) What does that mean to you today? Would Jesus consider this generation a wicked one?
-
Jesus came to “convert” people and gave plenty of clear evidence, but people came to the wrong verdict. Why? (Vs 11:34)
-
What can you do to make yourself a lamp to yourself and others?
