Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does the woman do at Jesus' feet, and what does Jesus say to her at the end?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What in your past makes you feel like her — sure that the door would be shut in your face?

  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What shame will you bring to Jesus this week instead of hiding it?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who do you know who feels rejected and needs to hear this story?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, thank you that you did not turn away from the woman everyone else had already written off. I bring you what I'm most ashamed of — say to me what you said to her: your sins are forgiven, go in peace.
