Lesson 24, Q10~Q12

Q10. Read Genesis 6-7.

a. List some things people will be doing that will be like Noah’s day.

People were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage.

Genesis 6:5

Genesis 6:11

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.

b. Compare the attitudes people today have about the return of Jesus with the attitudes of people in Noah’s time.

Because people do not know on what day the Lord will come, so wicked servant do not expect Jesus will come in their generation and begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

Only the faithful and wise servant is prepared to receive Jesus at the proper time. 

Q11. a. In Jesus’ illustration of a master and his servants, describe the character, actions and reward of the first servant.

The first servant is faithful and wise, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time.

The master will reward him by trusting in him even more.

b. What shows that the wicked servant did not believe his Master would soon return?

The wicked servant begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

c. As you think about verses 47, 50 and 51, what is Jesus’ message in this story?

Jesus trusts us whom obey Him to be in charge of all His possessions. We should cut off the wicked thought and be ready all the time to welcome Jesus to come back.
