God is Merciful
Discussion Questions
- What is an attribute?
- Does mercy make me free? How? Find two or three scriptures that show how someone is made free through mercy.
- When I go to the Father, do I expect to be received as the younger son was? Can I give an example of a time when I went to the Father not expecting it, and a time when I did expect it?
- Read and meditate on Ps 145:8-9; Rom 5:8; Eph 2:4-7; and 1 Jn 4:9-10 (also, if time permits, Hos 1-2). Do I understand that, in this life, the face of love is mercy? What does that mean?
- Jesus told this story (Lk 15:11-32) from his own experience of the Father. Explain.
