2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What had the two disciples hoped for, and why were they sad?
   • What did Jesus do with them on the road and at the table, and what happened when they recognised him?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • What have you hoped for that has not happened? How has that changed the way you walk with God?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • When will you open the Scriptures this week and ask Jesus to walk with you through a disappointment?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is walking away disappointed? How could you walk alongside them and open the Bible together?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
