Читать книгу Reconnect - David Sherbino - Страница 23

1. Take an extended period to enter into silence. What is it like for you with no one around? What are the thoughts that keep coming to the forefront of your mind? What does this reveal to you?

2. Read Ps. 23. How do you identify with the writer? What comfort does the text give you as you face the challenges of your life?

3. In what way do you ‘experience’ the presence of Christ? Is this more than a theological concept? Explain.

4. Take some time to think about your own death. How will you experience the presence of Christ with you?

5. Write out your fears, anxieties and concerns about dying. Now write out a prayer and offer this to God.

6. Meditate on Romans 14:7-8

“No one of us lives and equally no one of us dies, for himself alone. If we live we live unto the Lord; and if we die we die unto the Lord. Whether therefore we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”

7. Memorize the following question and answer from the Heidelberg Catechism Q and A 1

Q. “What is your only comfort in life and in death?”

A. “That I am not my own, but belong - body and soul, in life and in death - to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ”.
