3. Which of these do you still want to learn more about? Why?
4. Our passage from Hebrews says that the Law was “but a shadow of the good things to come.” By the Law, the author means the whole system of animal sacrifice in the Old Testament.

What are the “good things to come” that we now have not just yearly, but daily, hourly, second by second?
5. Why was it so important for God the Father to come down to this Earth as a human being? Why as such a fragile human being?

7. The Song of Mary (Magnificat) says, “He [God] has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty” (Luke 1:53). What are you hungry for? What things in your life do you think it is time for you to “send away empty”?
