PONDER | REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. Read Leviticus 19:33-34, Deuteronomy 15, Exodus 23:9, and Proverbs 31:8-9. Who was vulnerable and mistreated in Israel’s society? What does God instruct Israel to do for the vulnerable and why?
2. How do you think humans’ role as image bearers of God (Genesis 1:26-27) informs what the Bible says is right and just?
3. In the sermon, Ps Ian mentioned that Justice does not come naturally. What did he mean by that?
4. According to Bruce Waltke, the righteous in Proverbs are those that disadvantage themselves to advantage others. In what ways do you have an advantage over others around you? And in what ways do you struggle to disadvantage yourself?
5. Is there one way in which you’d be willing to disadvantage yourself for someone else? What does that look like?
