GENTLE AND LOWLY (1 KINGS 12:1-20 | MATTHEW 11:28–30)

The resurrection shows us that Jesus did everything necessary to free his people from slavery and give them eternal rest in his kingdom.

  1. REHOBOAM WAS ROUGH AND HAUGHTY (1 KINGS 12:1-20)

  2. JESUS IS GENTLE AND LOWLY (JOHN 10:17-18; MATTHEW 11:28-30)

Discussion Starters

Monday—Why wasn’t David allowed to build the temple? What did God promise David about the future and his descendants?

Tuesday—How is the dividing of the kingdom and taking away ten tribes from Rehoboam God’s verdict on his reign? Why was God displeased?

Wednesday—How is Jesus different from Rehoboam? What does Jesus mean that he is gentle and lowly? Does that mean he is weak?

Thursday—How is the resurrection God’s verdict on Jesus’ reign? Why was the Father pleased?

Friday—What does it mean that Jesus was raised on the third day “in accordance with the scriptures”? How does the Old Testament speak about the resurrection on the third day?
