Signs in Luke's seventh chapter

More questions to propel your thought toward the Messiah, as we look through Ch. 7 of Dr. Luke's gospel:
  1. Does Dr. Luke record the righteous actions of another centurion in Acts of the Apostles?
  2. Does Jesus believe in signs?
  3. How does a sign of contradiction work?
  4. The catechism says that John the Baptist is "more than a prophet." In him, the Holy Spirit concludes his speaking through the prophets. John the Baptist is compared and connected to the great prophet Elijah, but John the Baptist never raised up any sons of widows. What does this tell you about the nature of Jesus’ frequent use of "Make my day" tactics?
  5. How many contradictions are there in the house of Simon, where Jesus had supper?
  6. What is Jesus' concluding word to the woman who was a sinner? What does it signify?
  7. Where do you see the Holy Spirit on the move at this supper in the house of Simon?
Let's get rolling with this set of questions + some delicious coffee, and get a hold of seeing into the signs of contradiction today.
