2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Jesus tell his disciples to watch out for, and what does he promise about his words and his return?

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

   • Jesus says 'no one knows the day or hour.' How does not knowing change the way a servant lives — and the way you live?

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

   • 'What I say to you, I say to everyone: Watch!' What does staying spiritually awake look like for you this week, concretely?

4. Who will I tell?

   • The good news 'must first be preached to all nations' (v. 10). What part can you play in that this week — near or far?

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).
