Sermon Reflection Questions for October 27, 2019

Read Luke 22:24-34. This account of the last supper reveals weaknesses in Jesus’ future leaders. As Jesus explains His coming death, they’re focusing on themselves, arguing about who is the greatest. When Jesus warns Peter that he is vulnerable to an attack of Satan, pride blinds him. He brags about his loyalty, seeing himself as superior to his brothers.

• Peter failed but the final chapter had not been written. We see a different Peter after Jesus’ death.

• Contrast with Peter’s message in Acts 3:11. As he speaks with people in Jerusalem who had participated in and approved of Jesus’ trial and death, Peter’s tone is one of hope, and his desire to see them enjoy the blessings of Christ. Notice 3:17.

  • How does this change illustrate Peter’s development as a leader who is like Jesus?
