Read Chapters3 - 4

"We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses."
(Hebrews 4:15)

1.  Before approaching chapter 3, how would you have answered the question, What makes Jesus happy?  Has this chapter changed your answer in any way?  (pp. 35-38)

2.  How would you put the quote from Thomas Goodwin on pages 37-38 into your own words?  Is this the Christ you have been following and have instinctively believed to be there?

3.  What was the joy awaiting Christ in Hebrews 12:2?  (pp. 39-40)

4.  Have you deeply considered Christ's "solidarity" with you in your Christian discipleship journey?  What does this mean for your everyday life?  (pp. 45-46)

5.  Consider the way Jesus is described in the first two full paragraphs on page 47.  Is this how you tend to think of Jesus, or do you tend to emphasize his deity and downplay his real humanity in your own thoughts of him?

6.  It is natural for us to think that anguish and pain are an isolating reality in our life.  But how does this chapter clarify things for us?  (pp. 48-49)
