First Lesson
Ezekiel 3:16-21
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word
of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17 Son
of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from
me.
18 When
I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest
him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked
way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness,
nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou
hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness,
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he
shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall
die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall
not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless
if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and
he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned;
also thou hast delivered thy soul.
1st Lesson Questions:
Ezekiel 3:16-21. Am I a watchman (V. 17) unto any house? Whose? How am I doing, in this capacity? Is anyone's blood on my hands, as of today? (Vs. 18, 20) Have I ever done verse 21 in my life? RESOLVE.
Second Lesson
John 2:1-12
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto
you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the
manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor
of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made
wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew
the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth
good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse:
but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,
and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there
not many days.
2nd Lesson Questions:
John 2:1-12. Why did Jesus perform miracles? Why did He do this one? Has He done anything miraculous in my life? What? RESOLVE.
