verses 1-4:
- What is it that God requires us to "pay careful attention" to? Where do you go / what do you do to gain a clear understanding of His salvation and what he expects of us in response to it? Are there certain parts of the Bible that you find most informative or inspirational? Are there spiritual practices through which God brings you greater understanding/awareness?
- What does it mean in your life that God has made everything subject to Jesus (that Jesus has all power in heaven and earth)?
- Jesus was made perfect (brought to completion) through his degradation and suffering. How is that reflected in your life? Are there things that you've gone through that have been difficult or even traumatic but that God has used to bring you closer to Him and to make you more mature spiritually?
- What does it mean about you that Jesus calls you His brother (sister)?
- What is it like to share a painful experience with someone who has been through something similar?
- Jesus has experienced the temptations, the pain and suffering, the grief and loss, that makes up our human experience. He experienced death itself on our behalf. He has already felt within Himself what we are going through. How do we put ourselves in a place where He can minister to us? What can you do to feel His support and empathy and loving acceptance as you go through difficult experiences in your life?
