John’s Gospel: Lose Your Life To Live – Danny Loeffelholz
July 18, 2010 – These words in John 12 will make a wrestle with some challenging words of Jesus! Are we settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves!!! Following Jesus requires a RESPONSE to what he says…Can you imagine what your life would look like as you learn to lose it!!!
Week 27 – John’s Gospel Discussion Questions
Read John 12:12-36
- Why was the crowd so excited to welcome Jesus. How do you think you would have responded if you had been there?
- Verse 16. After spending so much time with Jesus, why didn’t the Disciples get who he was and what he was really about?
- Verse 25 isn’t teaching a “works salvation” but it is teaching that following Jesus is very serious business. Talk about what Jesus means by saving and losing your life.
- In what ways can we help each other “lose our lives for his sake”?
