Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:


1. Read John 4:43-54. What is Jesus’ mission? What does Jesus do or say in these    verses that highlight his faithfulness to his mission?
2. Read Acts 1:8. How do Jesus’ interactions in chapters 3 & 4 model this verse? How might this encourage us in faithfulness to our mission?
3. What does the official say and do that models faith? What is the difference between “signs-and-wonders faith” and “rebuke-withstanding faith”?
4. Read Proverbs 17:10. How might this help us understand Jesus’ interaction with the official in verses 48 & 49?
5. How and why is trust necessary in obeying Christ? In what ways do you “obey” Christ without trusting him?
