The Gospel of John
Sabbath School Study Week 5
Chapter 7-8
Chapter
7
The
festival was a time where the people of God looked back and celebrated all that
he had done for them. All the many
miracles he had performed to bring them out of the wilderness. They celebrated the water flowing from the
rock, the food he provided, the protection by parting the red sea and on and
on.
- If you were to celebrate the festival, looking back how has God blessed you?
- What dessert has he brought you out of?
The Pharisees and
the priests also focused on the coming Messiah.
It was part of their study, their sermons. It was part of their culture. They looked back and they looked forward and yet
they were blind to Christ right in front of them.
·
Have
you been focusing too much on what Christ has done in the past, or what he will
do in the future to miss him in the present?
·
What
can we do to make sure we see him NOW?
TODAY?
Chapter
8
This is one of my favorite
stories! The woman caught in adultery was
brought to Jesus. We see here that it
was more about trapping Jesus than even bringing due punishment on her.
- How often in our “punishment” of others are we concerned with the purification of the church, or making sure we look right as an organization, instead of thinking about the individual?
- Am I comfortable in my “truth”? Do I hide behind other peoples sin in hopes that I don’t have to face my own?
- What is Jesus writing in the sand for me?
When Jesus said
to the woman, “Go and sin no more.” Who was there? This was a moment between just her and her
Savior!
- What is Jesus saying to you in your quiet time?
- Are you giving him time? Time that is just for you two of you?

these books, please write down any comments, or any Ah ha moments that you have
while reading to share with the class.
