Gospel of John | Come and See
In John’s gospel, anytime someone is intrigued by who Jesus is, Jesus extends the same invitation. “Come and you will see.” As we preach through John, each week, we want to say the same thing. Come and see who this Jesus is. In John’s gospel, he focuses primarily on the words and works of Jesus to fill in a full picture of his identity in hopes that we will arrive at the conclusion that Jesus is in fact Israel’s Messiah who offers abundant life now to all who believe in his name.
Discussion Questions
What does it mean to be "born again" in the context of John 3? Is this different from your previous understanding?
How can we relate to Nicodemus's struggle with control when it comes to our spiritual walk?
Nicodemus was familiar with the idea of future regeneration in the Jewish faith. Why do you think the idea of present spiritual rebirth was so revolutionary to him?
How can understanding salvation as both a current experience and a future hope guide the way we live today?
What does it mean for you personally to say, "He must increase, but I must decrease"?
Prayer Points
Praise God for the love that he poured out through Jesus that allows us to be born-again!
Pray that we would be people at Sound City that stand firm not on our own credentials but the credentials of Jesus.
Pray that the Holy Spirit would help us share the good news of Jesus so that those around us would “look and believe”.
