Lesson 7 The Lord of the Sabbath Chooses Twelve Apostles 1. Luke 6 begins with these words: “On a Sabbath.” When someone familiar with the Old Testament read this phrase, what would have immediately come to mind? 2. What was Jesus’ point in bringing up the example of David (6:3-4)? 3. “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath”

What does this claim mean? Why is it significant? 4. What is Luke’s point in recording Jesus’ healing of the man with a withered hand (6:6-11)? 5. “And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles”

What’s the difference? What does disciple mean? What does apostle mean? Is there any significance to the fact that Jesus spent all night in prayer to God

prior to naming these twelve men as apostles? 6. How would you summarize, in your own words, what Jesus is communicating in Luke 6:20-26? 7. Read and meditate on Luke 6:27-36. What does Jesus expect of his disciples when it comes to love? 8. Read and mediate on Luke 6:37-42. What does Jesus want us to understand and apply? 9. What is Jesus’ point in Luke 6:43-45? How does it relate to your own heart? 10. “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?”
