A TIME TO REFLECT

LUKE 9:18-22

1. Why would the crowd have said that Jesus was…

    a. John the Baptist?

    b. Elijah?

    c. One of the prophets of old who has risen?

2. Why does Jesus command his disciples in strong terms not to speak of him as the Messiah? How does Luke’s use of “dei” (translated “must”) drive this point home?

ISAIAH 53:10-11

3. What is your reaction to this prophetic statement about the Suff ering Servant, “Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him”?

4. What good will come for the Messiah on the other side of his suffering?
