3.17.24 - Fully Committed, Part 3: A Savior Who Lives (Paul McGrew)
WEEK 5 // A SAVIOR WHO LIVES
SCRIPTURE: John 20
REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Jesus’s biography is the one and only biography in history which doesn’t end in death! Take some time to think this through and wrestle with it: why is this an important belief for Christians? What would it mean? Is it something you believe?
Paul said that “believe” is the most important word in John’s gospel. What do you think John means by this term? What do you think this term means? What are some things you “believe” in?
What do you think John means when he asks that we “believe” in Jesus? What does that include? How do we do it?
When she sees Jesus near the tomb, Mary mistakes him for “a gardener.” Paul suggested this is an important word! What is significant about “gardens” in Jesus’s world? What hope might we find here?
Think about Thomas: is there something wrong with his desire to seek proof of Jesus’s resurrection? How does Jesus respond to him? How do you think Jesus responds to our own doubts?
What do you think “full commitment” looks like for us?
