April Greeters: Rebecca Marshall & Daisy Casperson http://www.salvationarmy.org/biblechallenge WEEK 16 (commencing 20 April) John 8 – Jesus rescues the adulteress and makes more claims about his divinity What do you think they were going to accuse Jesus of (v 6)? If he agreed with their interpretation of the Law, were they hoping his compassion would override it? What do you think Jesus might have been writing in the sand (vv 6-8)? Some may say that proving Jesus’ divinity is a big part of John’s Gospel (vv 58, 59). Can these verses help with proclaiming the gospel today? John 9 – Jesus heals a man born blind and talks about spiritual blindness How might verse 3 guide someone who fears that their illness or physical condition is a judgement from God? The Pharisees interrogate the man born blind and end up feeling lectured by him (vv 13-34)! What can this teach us? The man born blind believes in Jesus. What is the first thing the man then does (see also Luke 4:8)? John 10 – Those who oppose Jesus do so on the grounds of his claims to be God Who could ‘the gatekeeper’ be referring to? In verses 30-33 Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and refers to God the Father. The two are one, both are God and the Jews understood perfectly well that this was his teaching. How helpful are these verses to those who struggle with belief in the Trinity? John 11 – Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. The plot to kill Jesus intensifies What does verse 35, the shortest verse in the Bible, tell you about Jesus? Why was he crying? Compare verses 45 and 53. Jesus becomes a polarising figure. To what extent is this still true today? John 12 – The triumphal entry and Jesus predicts his death Why is the information about the disciples’ ignorance in verse 13 useful? How does it add credibility to the Gospel account? Can you imagine what it must have been like to hear the voice of God (vv 28-30)? Children’s challenge – A story about sheep John 10:1-21 Listening to God is a really important thing for Christians to do every day. How might you go about doing this? You might be really good at focusing on God even when there are lots of things going on around you that might distract you. Or you might like to stop and listen in a quiet place or even listen to music to help you focus and listen to God. It is important to find what works for us and try some different things. Take time this week to try some different ways of listening to God. Find a quiet spot, read today’s Bible passage again, then sit or lie quietly and listen to God. Maybe take a notebook and jot down some words or pictures that come to mind as you focus on God. You could even listen to some music or make some music of your own while you think about God. Stop what you are doing – perhaps at home or at school or when you are playing with your friends – and focus You can also do the on God for a few minutes. You might like to write or draw Bible Challenge on some of the things that came to mind during this time as you your mobile device, listen to God. Inside the outline of the person, write or draw enabling you to be part all the things that God has given you that you might be able of Boundless - The to share or give to help make a difference for others. Pray Whole World Reading throughout the week about how you might be able to use wherever you are. these gifts, talents, attitudes and so on. “Music for Missions” Fundraiser!
