2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • Trace what Jesus goes through in this chapter — the anointing, the supper, Gethsemane, the arrest, the trial. What does he say about why this is happening?

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

   • The woman 'did what she could' and was criticized for wasting it. What extravagant act of love for Jesus might others call a waste?

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

   • Jesus asked the disciples to watch and pray so they wouldn't fall into temptation — and they slept. Where are you 'sleeping' when you should be praying, and what will you change this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Peter denied Jesus by a fire among strangers. In which setting are you most tempted to hide that you belong to him — and who there needs to know you follow Jesus?

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).
