Bible Question (short): A Walk with a Resurrected Man |
Question (full): Greeting Makarios, Thank for the prayer and the answer. Continue to pray to Jesus and ask for His guidiance, blessing and protection. Here attach with some more questions on John 21:1-25(Purpose: To demonstrate Christ's ability to use for his glory, no matter what our past failures have been.) 1. Can you please tell me about a broken relationship you tried to restore and what resulted from your effort. 2. Describe how you feel when someone you have hurt refuses to forgive you. 3. What is the significance of Peter's decision to return to fishing(vv.1-3)? 4. What is Jesus trying to show the disciples by allowing them to catch such a large number of fish(vv.4-6;see Luke 5:4-11)? 5. When Peter hears that "it is the Lord"(vv.7-8), he jumps into the water and begins swimming ahead of the boat. What does that response reveal about Peter and his relationship with Jesus? 6. How would you have response if you had denied Jesus just a few days earlier? 7. What subtle differences do you notice in Jesus' three questions and Peter responses(vv.15-17)? What do you think is the significance of those differences? 8. What can we learn from this passage about the steps involved in restoring a Christian who has sinned? 9. Why do you think Jesus chooses this particular occasion to predict the kind of death Peter would die(vv.18-19)? 10. How does it help to know that you can still serve and glorify God no matter what your past failures have been? 11. What does Jesus' rebuke to Peter(v.22) reveal about the danger of comparing ourselves with other Christians? 12. Imagine Jesus saying these things to you. How would you respond, or what would the words mean in the context of your life? "Do you truly love me?" "Take care of my sheep?" "You must follow me." 13. What aspects of Jesus' character or ministry have impressed you most? 14. What responses have you made in your heart and life as a result of that deeper understanding? Blessings to you, dfww65 |
