II. THEOLOGICAL DOCUMENTS­­—COMMISSION ON THEOLOGY AND CHURCH RELATIONS

He Is Our Righteousness
Participant ’s Guide

Session 2:
A Story to Answer Questions and to Reframe Them
Luke 10:30–35

Read Luke 10:30–35.
1. Try to imagine yourself in the lawyer’s place. How would
you expect the story to answer your question? (Because we
know the parable so well, we usually don’t take the time to
ask about what the lawyer would have been expecting and
how he might have heard it.)
