Verses:

MATTHEW 9:36 When He saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

MATTHEW 25:35-36,40 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. 40… Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

LUKE 18:15-16 Now they were bringing even infants to Him that He might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him, saying, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

LUKE 8:1-3 Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.

LUKE 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

2 TIMOTHY 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. If someone asked you how Jesus has impacted the history of our world, how would you answer?
2. In what other areas has Jesus made an impact in history?
3. In the message, Pastor Bryan referenced mankind being made in the “Imago Dei = Image of God”. He said this isn’t a statement we should just read in our Bibles. It’s actually how Jesus has taught us to live in regard to one another. Can you explain what that means?
4. Over the last 100 years, who would you say has made the biggest impact in our world? How does their contribution compare to Jesus’ contribution?
5. Was there anything in this message that stood out (as most significant) to you?
