2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • How does Jesus enter Jerusalem, and what does he do in the temple the next day — and why?

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

   • Jesus wanted the temple to be a house of prayer for all nations. What has 'crowded out' prayer in your life or your group?

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

   • Jesus ties prayer to forgiveness (v. 25). Who do you need to forgive this week, before you pray for anything else?

4. Who will I tell?

   • The crowd cried 'Hosanna!' but the leaders questioned his authority. Who in your world still questions who Jesus is, and how could you welcome them to look closer?

3 Grow

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