"This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’" -Jeremiah 6:16
The offer has always been on the table. Soul rest. Soul sensitivity. A well-walked path by those aware that they are far more than society seems to suggest. Whether or not we take God up on all this has been the enduring issue.
Spend some time resisting the urge to wrestle academically with the concept of the "soul", but to entertain (and begin living out) what it means as people on a path, seeing ourselves as souls beloved by our creator.
- What did you learn or get reminded of Sunday?
- How would you explain the idea of a soul to a child?
- Did you have any one thought, experience or person that came to mind as you listened?
- What happens in your life as you begin to appreciate your soul?
- Same question, but this time consider the soul of others.
- What forces and traps will serve to make you forget what you've learned, and how can your group help you?
- Read Matthew 11:29. How does your lived faith embrace this passage beyond merely knowing Jesus said it?
- How can we embody this toward others?
