THAT IS WHY I WAS SENT

Luke 4:31-44

Key Verse: 4:43

1. Read verses 31-32. What did Jesus do on the Sabbath in Capernaum? What was he teaching and why? (2 Ti 3:15; Jn 8:14,32) How did the people respond to his teaching? What does it mean that his message had authority?

2. Read verses 33-37. What happened in the synagogue while Jesus was preaching the word?  How did the demon-possessed man react to Jesus' teaching? How did Jesus deal with the demon and the man? How did the people respond? What can we learn here about Jesus?

3. Read verses 38-39. How did Jesus help Simon's mother-in-law? What did she do after being healed? What does this incident show us about Jesus? (Mt 12:20)

4. Read verses 40-41. What happened at sunset? What kinds of people were brought to Jesus? How did he care for each one? Why did Jesus silence the demons? (34,35,41)

5. Read verses 42-44. Why did Jesus want to be alone? (Mk 1:35) What did he decide during this time alone with God? Look at verse 43. What does this tell us about his purpose in coming?  How did Jesus demonstrate the good news of the kingdom? Why did Jesus put preaching and teaching on the first priority in his messianic ministry?
