Discussion Questions “The Chosen Lesson 2”
What did you HIGHLIGHT in your bible since last time? Why?

Read Exodus 20:8-11. What is the origin of the Sabbath-day rest?


What promise does God make to his chosen people in Isaiah 43:2? How does this relate to Exodus 14:26-31, Joshua 3:14-17, and Daniel 3:1-28?


After their liberation from bondage in Egypt the Israelites found themselves in the wilderness. The One who made the wilderness was the One leading them THROUGH it. How does it change the way you look at impossible things to ponder God as the Creator?


Do you practice the discipline of the Sabbath now? How?


Read Psalm 46:10. How would meditating on God have impacted Mary’s healing process? Nicodemus’s priorities? Matthew’s striving? Simon’s impatience or confusion?


Have you struggled with feeling empty or exhausted lately? Keeping the Sabbath is most obviously marked by “not working”. But God’s primary intention behind the commandment is to spend the day like Mary did – to enter into His presence. What needs to change in your schedule or in your mindset to rest the way God intended?


Read Matthew 11:28-30, Psalms 56:8, Matthew 10:30, Luke 12:7, Romans 5:8, Revelation 21:4. Which of these verses bring you the greatest feeling of rest, peace, and hope? Why?
