Mission Bible Study 2: Wholesome Care
Read Isaiah
58.
1. How was Israel expressing its spirituality (v.3)?
2. Nowhere does God actually say that those forms are wrong; nonetheless, he is angry with Israel. Why? (Notice both what they did do and what they did not do--v. 3-7.)
3. How will God respond to correct fasting (v. 8-14)?
Read Luke 4-14-21.
V4. This passage is Jesus' introduction of his ministry. According to verses
18-19, what is Jesus' mission?
5. It should not be surprising that Jesus' introduction of himself reflects a very broad concern. How does this announcement compare to God's requirements for true fasting in Isaiah 58?
6. Picture in your mind what Jesus' ministry would look like in our culture. Describe what that ministry would be like.
7. Leadership question: What commitments can you make to live differently as concrete evidence that God cares for the whole person?
8. Response: How does your ministry encompass all of the elements which Jesus includes in Luke 4:18-19?
