BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 29, Day 5: Haggai 1:3-6; Zechariah 1:1-6; and Malachi 1:1-2

Summary of Haggai 1:3-6; Zechariah 1:1-6; and Malachi 1:1-2

Haggai 1:3-6

God tells His people through Haggai the prophet that it is time to rebuild His house. The people need to examine their ways.

Zechariah 1:6

The Lord spoke to Zechariah, telling him to tell the people to return to Him. If they do, He will return to them. He warns them to not be like their ancestors who ignored Him. The people repented, saying, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.’”

Malachi 1:1-2

God declares His love for Israel, but Israel doubts God’s love for them, but God says He loves them.

BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 29, Day 5: Haggai 1:3-6; Zechariah 1:1-6; and Malachi 1:1-2

12a) Haggai and Zechariah confronted the exiles’ misplaced priorities. Haggai rebuked their “paneled houses” while God’s temple lay in ruins (Haggai 1:4), linking their economic hardship to spiritual neglect. Zechariah urged a return to God to avoid their ancestors’ judgment (Zechariah 1:3), demanding internal repentance alongside physical rebuilding. Life is so busy that it can be distracting. We get caught up in doing the little chores that we forget the biggest blessing in our lives — God. We must make God our primary thought, not secondary.

b) Focusing more on God in the day-to-day moments of life. Thinking of What Would Jesus Do in situations. Loving people more rather than judging. Putting God front and center always in my life.

13) Remembering what God has done for me.

14) I simply move forward each and every day, trying to do God’s ways and not mine.

I have been consciously trying to keep God at the forefront of my thoughts.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 5: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Death and Resurrection

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 5: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Death and Resurrection

11) Jesus’ steadfast acceptance of his duty and his determination to see it through to the end. He is calm and collected throughout the entire ordeal — his “trials,” torture, and death. It’s incredibly hard to grasp it all, but it deepens my love for Christ and the sacrifices he made for me.

12a) Jesus was the final sacrifice for our sins. His resurrection proves his victory over sin since death is the consequence of sin. His victory over the power of sin, and his victory over the consequences of sin. If Jesus had not risen from the dead, we would still be held captive to sin (1 Corinthians 15:17)

b) It has given me greater insight into the super importance of the resurrection and how it means I am free from sin. Jesus went through a lot to save all of us, and for that I’m eternally grateful.

c) It gives me hope in the days when I have little. It gives me peace when those around me die that I will one day be with them and see them again.

13) The care that Nicodemus and Joseph took with Jesus’ body. It was worshipping him in such a special and beautiful way.

14) No matter our sins, Jesus forgives us. There truly is no more powerful message in the Bible. With Jesus, there’s a way. When you declare your faith in Jesus, it gives hope to others.

joseph's death www.atozmomm.com

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

Summary of Genesis 50:22-26:

Joseph died at age 110 and lived to see the third generation of Ephraim’s children. Joseph told his brothers that God will come to take them to the Promise Land. He made them swear to carry his bones out of Egypt and take him with them. He was embalmed in Egypt.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

16) God will come to take them to the Promise Land.

17) Joseph never doubted God and His promises. He knew the Israelites would be taken back to the Promised Land when the time was right.

18) Both died in faith surrounded by their family. It was a long journey, but God and His ways brought them both to Him. They were both honored and embalmed, and both will be buried in the Promise Land.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

Great ending to a life well lived.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

Joseph was led and blessed by God his entire life. He was 56 when Jacob died, and none of the details of Joseph’s live is recorded in scripture. We can presume that Joseph continued to lead the people of Egypt and his family. He lived 93 of his 110 years in Egypt. He was foreigner most of his life, but he was faithful to God throughout, and was rewarded for it.

It is said that Joseph was never buried in Egypt. His bones/coffin stood as a testament to the Israelites of the future of the Promise Land. Joseph would be taken out of Egypt by Moses to the Promise Land for burial in 400 years time. (Exodus 13:19)

Some promises of God take a long time to fulfill. The book of Genesis concludes with Joseph’s death — a death that looks forward to the future.
