DIGGING DEEPER: For personal or group discovery
Read Luke 10:25–37 out loud. Then retell the passage in your own words. Then discuss the following questions:
What does this passage teach us about God?
What does this passage teach us about people?
If this is true, what should I do in response?
Who could I share this with?
