Understanding their Future (vv. 22-27)
Understanding our Present (vv. 1-21, 28-29)
Discussion Starters
Monday—Does the language of Jesus becoming something seem strange? (vv. 14, 21; cf. 1 Cor 15:45 ) Why or why not? Can Jesus save us without doing something in history for us?
Tuesday—What was the exile? How long Israel in captivity? Why would that have been hard for Israel to understand? Was it the end of their story?
Wednesday—What did God accomplish through the exile? How did he use something hard for the good of his people? What did it teach Israel about where to put their trust?
Thursday—How did Jesus mirror Israel’s exile story in his own life? What did he endure? Why? What does it mean that the rejected stone has become the cornerstone?
Friday—How does Psalm 118 help you interpret hard times in your life? How does it assure you that you have not been abandoned? What comfort does it offer you?
