Deep Thought

These questions are for you to think about and discuss. Other parts of this lesson may help you with the answers.

Matthew chapter seven is rich in imagery. It is a chapter that shows Jesus’s amazing ability to make ideas come to life in the mind’s eye. There are ten "word pictures" in the chapter. I have identified them for you, but can you tell me what idea or lesson each word picture is meant to convey?

A person’s reputation or usefulness can be ruined because of hasty or shallow judgments which someone makes and expresses about that person. Verses 5 and 20 give us principles upon which to make good judgments. What are these principles?

Puzzle

There are three blocks side by side. Each has two 3-letter words across and two 4-letter words down. But obviously some of the letters are missing, and there are question marks where the letters should be. If you were to click a question mark, the missing letter would be filled in to complete a word. But that’s too easy, so before you click, just hold your cursor over the question mark. You will see, in the green clue bar, the number of a verse in Matthew 7. In that verse, the word you are trying to complete will be found --or at least a word close to it in meaning. Oops! One word in the puzzle is backwards. That’s BAD, isn’t it?.
