MATTHEW

Chapter 10

read chapter

STUDY:

  • What did Jesus give to the disciples?
  • List the twelve disciples.
  • What was noted about Judas Iscariot?
  • In your own words, what did Jesus instruct the disciples to do? 
  • What were they to do if people did not listen to what the disciples said?
  • What was Jesus' exhortation in verse 16?
  • Why were the disciples not to be anxious at what they were going to say?
  • What will happen to the one who endures to the end?
  • Whom shall you not fear?
  • What are you more valuable than?
  • What does it say about the person who denies Jesus before men?
  • Paraphrase verses 34-39.
  • What does Jesus say about receiving rewards in verses 40-42?

DIG DEEPER:

  • Why did Jesus not want the disciples to preach to the Gentiles or Samaritans?
  • How valuable are you to God?
  • What does verse 34 mean? 

APPLICATION:

  • Do ever feel like a "sheep among the wolves"?  In reading this chapter, how can you be encouraged? What wisdom can you take from this text?
  • Being "wise as serpents" and "innocent as doves", describe a situation how you could use this wisdom to be steadfast in persecution.
  • Jesus calls us to take up His cross, regardless of the cost.  For some, the cost might be family.  What are you willing to sacrifice in order to follow Jesus?  Is there anything in your life currently that is standing in the way of you giving Jesus your all?

Read my thoughts on this chapter:

"denial"

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

"So everyone who acknowledges me before me, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before me, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven."  {Verse 32-33}


"Whoever finds his life will lost it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."  {Verse 39}
