Wednesday Bible Study Week 3

***Bible Study Time has changed to Wednesdays at 12:00pm***

Text: Luke 12:1-12

The original thought going into this study was verses 8-9, "Whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God." These verses were selected as a follow up to our week one discussion about how we don't like bringing up our faith unless it is really, really, really, really a safe situation.

We discussed that issue, and the importance of not being shy or afraid to share with others our reason for hope.

That conversation was important and well covered, but because this text is so rich with words from Jesus, we also moved around the text to other important passages. One particular section that had us convicted was verses 2-3, "There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs."

How easy is it for us to say something about someone or to someone when no one else is watching? Or think of it this way, how careful are we of what we send in emails these days, knowing that these can be printed off or sent to hundreds of people?

Jesus tells us be where of living a hypocritical life. People are watching how we live and what we say. Not only do they take note, but our Father in heaven is aware of these actions also.
