Preparing for Sunday: February 20, 2022

Preparing for Sunday is a weekly time to prepare for Sunday worship. Based on the Revised Common Lectionary, Preparing for Sunday is a time to step away from the busyness of the world and reflect on what God is saying to us.

This week’s text is from Luke 6:27-38.

Here are some questions to think about the text:
1. Is love just a feeling, or is it also action?
2. In verse 31 Jesus says the following: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” This is commonly known as the Golden Rule. What do you think this means to you?
3. Who is an enemy as found in verse 29? What does it mean to love an enemy? How did Christ love his enemies? Is it possible for us to love our enemies?
4. What does it mean to show mercy to people? Can you think of a time mercy was shown to you?
5. What does loving our enemies or giving with no expectations have to do with God’s generosity?
