Part 2
Salt
Matthew 5:13
1) Just for fun: Have you began your Christmas shopping? Are you last minute kind of shopper? Do you have a strategy when it comes to Christmas shopping?
2) Read Acts 10:38. How differently would your day look if everywhere you went you were intentionally doing good?
3) At the Sermon on the Mount Jesus introduces the Beatitudes, or the attitudes that should be (Matthew 5:1-9). Read these verses together and reflect on these questions.
-What is an attitude?
-Are attitudes good, bad or both?
-Who has attitudes?
-Are attitudes a choice?
-Why do you think our attitudes are important as followers of Christ?
-Who is someone you know with a bad attitude that you know? How do the affect those around them?
-Who is someone with a great attitude that you know? How do they affect those around them?
4) Each of the beatitudes has two parts: part one begins, "Blessed are..." and part two begins "for they..." The second part of each of these beatitudes grows out of the first part. Some of the beatitudes seem to make sense and fit into our worldview, others do not. Identify one of the beatitudes that makes sense to you (in other words, one in which you think that part two grows naturally out of part one). Explain what you believe Jesus is communicating in the is beatitude and why it makes sense to you.
5) Some of the beatitudes seem almost backwards. Identify one of the beatitudes that does not seem to make sense (in other words, part two does not seem to grow naturally out of part one.) What do you think Jesus is trying to communicate through this seemingly backwards statement?
6) Read Matthew 5:13.
-Describe some of the ways we use salt?
-What are some of the qualities salt possesses?
-How can the ways salt is used and the qualities it possesses translate to the qualities we have as followers of Christ?
-How do you think your attitude affects your "saltiness"?
7) Every time we do good and live out the love, we are telling the world, "Jesus is real and He really cares about you." Think of some ways as a live group that you can be salt to the world. Maybe plan to adopt a family in need you know about at Christmas time to bless with food and gifts. Or get together to pack your Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
