Questions
For Personal Reflection or Group Discussion
- When have you experienced guilt or shame before? (Think of 1 or 2 significant experiences.) Describe the emotions and physical sensations that accompanied the guilt or shame. What thoughts did you have in those experiences?
- How did guilt or shame affect your decision-making, behaviours, or how you lived life?
- Jesus is the divine Son of God who would make you his friend, and was willing, able, and did what was needed for your guilt and shame to be removed. (Matthew 9:9-13; John 15:9-13; Romans 5:1-8; 1 John 4:9-10) If you believe this, how would life be different for you?
