Recommended Preparation
1) Mark 12.28-34
2) Mark For Everyone, pages 172-176

Discussion Questions
1) After the two traps religious leaders set and failed at, a lawyer approaches Jesus with another question. What does he want to know and how does Jesus answer him?
2) Jesus commends the lawyer for understanding that following these two commandments is worth more "than all burnt offerings and sacrifices". When many Christians have very strong ideas about what worship should and shouldn't be like, how does this passage reveal that we sometimes have misplace priorities?
