Questions to Discuss or Ponder:

- Why is hesed “the defining characteristic of God”?
- When things are difficult, how do you experience the goodness and love of your Shepherd?
- Picture Jesus weeping as he stands on the side of the Mount of Olives. What is he weeping about? In what way are you a part of his tears?
- As evidenced by the way you live, what priority does Jesus have in your life? If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
