John 1:1-18 |
John 9:1-12 |
- What idea lies behind the disciples’ question (v. 1)? Curiosity? Guilt-tripping? A trap? Compassion?
- What does Jesus’ answer (vv. 3-5) reveal about how he views the man’s suffering?
- In this story, what is the “work of God” (v. 3)? The “night” that is coming (v. 4)? The “light of the world” (v. 5)?
- How are sin and suffering related?
Luke 4:14-21 |
- When have you felt either under-or over-estimated because of where you were from or who you were related to?
- Look at Luke 4:1,14,18. What does this tell us about the source of Jesus’ power?
- What was different about Jesus that caused the crowd to ask in v. 22, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
- What is Jesus’ five-fold mission according to verses 18-19? How did Jesus fulfill it then? Now?
Luke 5:1-11 |
- What do you think Simon Peter was thinking and feeling in verse 5? 7? 8?
- How did this miracle affect Peter? Why does this have a more profound effect on him than the healing of his mother-in-law?
- What is Peter starting to grasp about Jesus? About sin? About belief in himself?
- When was the first time, if ever, that you responded to Jesus like Peter in verse 8?
- In your “fishing business” (whatever your business is) how do you see Jesus?
Matthew 1:18-25 |
- How would you feel in Joseph’s place in verse 19? In verses 20-21? What would you say to family and friends? To God?
- What reason does Joseph give as to why Jesus was born?
- Did these incidents likely strain or strengthen Joseph and Mary’s future marriage relationships? How was God “with them” in all this?
- Jesus was called Emmanuel/Immanuel - “God with us”. How do you feel about viewing Jesus as a role model?
- When did Jesus become a warm person for you; more than just a name? When did he become God with you?
