1. What do you think of Carissa's attitude towards Elon? What about the attitude of nearly everyone else in the Kingdom towards him?
"He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem."- Isaiah 53:2-3 NIV
2. In what ways do you see a similarity between Carissa's attitude towards Elon and Isaiah 53:2-3? What about the attitude of society towards him?
3. What do you think this means for Elon's character?
"This is what the Lord says: "For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not relent. They sell the innocent for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals. They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name. They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. In the house of their god they drink wine taken as fines." -Amos 2:6-8 NIV
4. In what ways does Amos 2:6-8 remind you of the state of the city of Zonah? What similarities do you see between Israel during Amos' time and our world today?
