Pitfalls

Jesus warns us about 4 specific pitfalls that we as Christians need not only to avoid, but to guard against. There were some great ideas shared in class about how to "be on guard" against:
Hypocrisy
Greed
Worry
The 4th pitfall is found in Luke 12:35-48
Read that passage and then discuss these questions with your spouse and/or family"
  1. What pitfall is Jesus warning us about?
  2. What 2 characteristics should be a true of a servant who is ready?
  3. How long should a servant be willing to wait?
  4. What is involved in being watchful and waiting?
  5. What is the fate of someone who knew the right thing to do but did not do it?
  6. What is the fate of the servant who acted in ignorance? (Why is there a difference?)
  7. How should we act while we wait for Jesus' return?

In Him,
Aaron
