GROWTH GROUP QUESTIONS
GETTING STARTED
1. What have we learned so far in the first 2 chapters of Hebrews
about who Jesus is?
2. Is it easier for you to think of Jesus as divine or human? Why?
DIGGING DEEPER
1. What does it mean in v. 10 that it was "fitting" for God to make
Jesus "perfect through suffering"? How might some misinterpret the
meaning of this?
2. What does it mean in v. 11 that Jesus is not ashamed to call us
brothers? In what way do you find this surprising? How does this
encourage you?
3. How does a fear of death produce a "lifelong slavery" as described in
v. 15? How do you see this displayed in the world today?
