1. Read Colossians 1:19-20 – What is the first thing you think of when you hear that things are “reconciled?” 

• Jesus gave his lifeblood to reconcile all things?  What possibly could be worth that kind of price?

2. Read Revelation 21:1-5a and Revelation 22:1-5 back to back.  This is a description of creation when all things are reconciled to God.

• In your own words, describe what this kind of world will be like?
• What will be different (specifically) from the world as you are now experiencing it?

3. Read Matthew 28:18-20 – This is the mandate Jesus gave us as we live in anticipation of all things being reconciled to God (and the vision of Revelation 21-22).

• What do you think it means to be a disciple?
• Specifically, what does Jesus say is involved in the task of making a disciple?

4. Read Luke 2:52 – A disciple is a person who learns from a teacher in such a way that his/her life grows to become like that teacher.  What do we learn about growing from the description of the way Jesus grew?
