John: That You May Believe
Your Plans or God’s?
- The Temptation for Worldly Success
- Jesus Entrusts Himself to the Father
- Entrust Our Souls to a Faithful Creator
Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read John 7:1-13. Why do Jesus’ brothers want him to go up to Jerusalem? What is success in their minds?
- What have you wanted, even prayed for, that may have been more in line with worldly measures of success than God’s plans?
- What is Jesus’ “time”? Why is it so important that Jesus submits to God’s timing?
- Read 1 Peter 2:23 and 4:19. Note the word “entrust.” How do we see Jesus entrusting himself to the Father in John 7?
- What does it look like for a follower of Christ to entrust his soul to the Father? In what ways do you not entrust your soul to God?
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Peter 4:19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. (ESV)
