Session 34
How do we live life in this world?
From The Life of Jesus: 50 Days in the Book of John
Read John 12:20-43
Now, spend some time reflecting on what you read and what stood out to you.
In verse 25, Jesus says, “Whoever loves His life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” What do you think He means by hating life in this world? What are some things of this world you love that God wants you to hate?
Verses 36-37 address how Jesus healed many people, yet they still did not believe. Why do you think that is?
In verse 42, we see that fear of man held back many from following Jesus. Put yourself in their shoes, do you think you would have followed Jesus or or would you have been more focused on the approval of others? What can you do to surrender to God that desire for approval from others?
Finally, spend some time responding to Jesus in prayer. What do you want to thank Him for? What do you want to ask Him for? What do you need to confess to Him?
