Discussion Questions
- Why is it important that we treat leaders with honor and respect? How do you think we are doing on that nowadays?
- How does doing good silence ignorance?
- What are some responses to ignorance that don’t work so well?
- Why does Peter tell slaves to submit to masters? What would’ve happened to them if they did otherwise?
- What does the suffering of Jesus, without complaint, tell us about our responses to suffering?
- Was there a time in your life when you were wandering like a lost sheep? How did the Good Shepherd call you back?
- What is the greatest pain in your life right now? In what way could acceptance of the situation provide hope?
- Why do we tend to think of hope as the expectation that pain will go away?
