Session 41
Where’s the pushback?
From The Life of Jesus: 50 Days in the Book of John
Read John 15:18 - 16:15
Now, spend some time reflecting on what you read and what stood out to you.
Jesus here tells us the world should—on some level—hate us. He’s telling us this because our lives are supposed to look different. If we are Christ’s followers, then our lives should demand a little pushback from the world. Do you feel like your life is displaying Christ? If not, what needs to change?
Where, if anywhere, do you feel like you may have more love for the world than for God?
Jesus says in verse seven that it is better if He goes away and leaves us with the Holy Spirit. Why do you think that is?
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?
