Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness
Author: Jeff Fritsche
The Aim: To consider together the Fruit of the Spirit of Kindness
Passage: Luke 7:36-50
Study Questions:
- Have each person share an experience where someone was really “kind” to them.
- Read Titus 3:1-10. One option is to ask them to read this passage as if they had never read the Bible before in their life. Then write down 5-10 questions that they would ask as a person with no Biblical/Christian background. Spend your time discussing these questions. (Don’t miss: the kindness of Jesus; personal application from the passage).
- How does Paul describe the kindness of God our Savior (5-7)?
- What is the motivation suggested here for our own kindness?
- What hinders you from being unkind?
- What one act of kindness could you do to someone this week that you know?
Optional Leaders’ Helps:
Kindness chrestotes (χρεστοτες) refers to benignity and kindness, a quality that should pervade and penetrate the whole nature, mellowing in it all that is harsh and austere.[1]
Other Passages:
Luke 5:12-16 Take time to contrast the Leper, the crowd and Jesus
