Dreaming of Jesus
- Grace Surprises
- Grace Promises
- Grace Transforms
Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read Genesis 28:10-22. What catches your attention from this passage? Why?
- What has Jacob done to deserve this dream? Why is this so important to highlight?
- What does Jacob see in his dream? Why does God show him these things?
- Read John 1:51, 10:7, 9, & 14:6. In what ways is Jesus the fulfillment of Jacob’s dream?
- Compare the promises of verses 13-15 with those of 12:1-3 and 26:3-5. What is similar? What is different?
- How does this encounter change Jacob (v. 18-22)? How does encounters with God’s grace change us? What hinders the transformation in our lives?
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. (ESV)
