Scripture

Have your group read Luke 24:13-35 and then discuss:

• What does this passage show you about Jesus?

• What were some of the disciples’ expectations that caused them to miss seeing who Jesus was?

• How did Jesus’ open their eyes to who He really was?

• Have you ever had an expectation God didn’t meet in your life that left you disoriented?

o If so, how did Jesus open your eyes to a truth about Him or yourself through that situation?

Take turns reading the following passages of Scripture. Listen for a truth about God Jesus is opening your eyes

to trusting more in your life right now.

• Isaiah 53:1-6

Give everyone a quiet moment to pause and ask the Lord:

Partner up in groups of 2-3 to share what God spoke to you and spend time praying for each other as the Holy Spirit leads.
