read this chapter

STUDY:

• How does the story of the "Laborers in the Vineyard" make you feel?

• Why did it not seem fair to the men who had worked all day to receive the same wage as the ones who had only worked a couple hours?

• What did Jesus predict for the third time?

• Who came to Jesus in verse 20?  Who were the sons of Zebedee?  Where did we first get introduced to them?

• What was her/their request?

• How does this passage and the story of the "Laborers in the Vineyard" compare? What do they have in common?

• What did Jesus come to do?

• What did Jesus do for the two blind men?  

• How did they respond?

APPLICATION:

• How can we specifically apply Jesus' statement: "So the last will be first, and the first last.' {verse 16}
  
• What can we learn from the "Laborers in the Vineyard"?

• How can we respond to Jesus like the blind men did?

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

"But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life for as a ransom for many."
{Verses 26-28}
