Bible Challenge: Matthew 18:21-35; Ephesians 4:32

Posted on September 2, 2022 Posted By: KBCF Categories: Bible Challenge



Take Home Principle: 

“”As Christ forgave me, I too will be forgiving, kind, and compassionate towards others.””

Discovery Question

  1. Read Ephesians 4:32. What does the verse command us to do?
  2. Read Matthew 18:21-22. How many times should we forgive an erring brother/sister?
  3. Read Matthew 18:23-34. In Jesus’ parable, compare how the two main characters of the story differ.
  4. What warning was given in verses 32-35?

Understanding Questions 

  1. In Matthew 18:21-22, where was Peter coming from (what was the context of his question) and how did Jesus respond?
    [Note: Prior to Peter’s inquiry in this particular passage, (v.1) the disciples were discussing with Jesus who the greatest in God’s kingdom was].
  2. What does the parable in Matthew 18:23-35 teach us about forgiving others?

Application Questions

  1. What specific ways can you show kindness and compassion towards others? Think of specific individuals and concrete doable actions.
  2. Do you find it difficult to forgive and extend grace to someone?
    Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you obey, in faith. We cannot obey God by ourselves, for it is not by our own might nor power but by the help of the Holy Spirit, which comes in the form of the grace of God (Zechariah 4:6).

Mahalagang Prinsipyo sa Buhay: 

“Kung paanong pinatawad ako ni Kristo, gayundin ang aking pagpapatawad, kabaitan, at mahabagin tungo sa iba.”

Pagtuklas

  1. Basahin ang Efeso 4:32. Ano ang ipinag-uutos sa atin na gawin?
  2. Basahin ang Mateo 18:21-22. Ilang beses natin dapat patawarin ang nagkamali na kapatid?
  3. Basahin ang Mateo 18:23-34. Sa parabula ni Jesus, ihambing kung paano naiiba ang dalawang pangunahing tauhan ng kuwento.
  4. Anong babala ang ibinigay sa mga bersikulo 32-35?

Pag-unawa

  1. Sa Mateo 18:21-22, saan nanggaling si Pedro (ano ang konteksto ng kanyang tanong) at paano tumugon si Jesus?
    [Tandaan: Bago ang pagtatanong ni Pedro sa partikular na bahaging ito, (v.1) tinatalakay ng mga disipulo si Jesus kung sino ang pinakadakila sa kaharian ng Diyos].
  2. Ano ang itinuturo sa atin ng talinghaga sa Mateo 18:23-35 tungkol sa pagpapatawad sa iba?

Pagtugon

  1. Sa anong paraan mo maipapakita ang kabaitan at kahabagan tungo sa iba? Mag-isip ng mga partikular na indibidwal at konkretong aksyong na pwede mong gawin.
  2. Nahihirapan ka bang magpatawad at magpaubaya sa isang tao?
    Manalangin at hilingin sa Banal na Espiritu na tulungan kang sumunod sa Salita ng Diyos nang may pananampalataya. Hindi natin masusunod ang Diyos sa ating sarili sapagkat ito ay hindi sa ating sariling lakas o kapangyarihan kundi sa tulong ng Banal na Espiritu ayon sa biyaya ng Diyos (Zacarias 4:6).
