BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 18, Day 4: John 14:1-4

9) Do not let your hearts be troubled. I am going there [Father’s house] to prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.

10) The same as it comforts us; it tells them and us that we will forever be with Jesus and don’t have to stay here alone.

11) One days, all will be made right, and we’ll all get to be with Jesus forever. We’ll get to see our dearly missed friends, family, and pets again. The world will be whole as it was meant to be.

12) False comfort is found in material things that do not last or in broken people who do betray us. Nothing can satisfy us but the love of Jesus.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 18, Day 3: John 13:36-38

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

Summary of John 13:36-38

Peter asks Jesus where he was going. Jesus says they cannot go now, but they will follow later. Peter wants to go, saying he’ll lay down his life for him. Jesus then tells him he will deny him three times before the rooster crows.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 18, Day 3: John 13:36-38

6)  Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”  Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” The disciples have been following Jesus everywhere now for three years and expected to continue to do so. They were confused by his statement of his leaving.

7a) Jesus promised they would follow later. He warned Peter that he would deny him three times before the rooster crowed.

b) Disbelief. Peter never thought he’d deny Jesus.

8 ) Honestly, relief. It’s comforting to know there is purpose in my life, and I’m not just going willy-nilly.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 18, Day 3: John 13:36-38

I love this! It not only shows Peter is human, but it shows that even Jesus’ disciples have their moments of weakness, AND Jesus forgave Peter as he forgives all of us.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 18, Day 3: John 13:36-38

Christ has to die first for Peter before Peter can die for Christ. This is the lesson Peter learned.

Judas’ denial is deliberate; Peter’s was not planned and in the heat of the moment. They are different.

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 18, Day 4: Isaiah 6:5-8

by atozmom, posted in BSF People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided 2022/2023

SUMMARY OF ISAIAH 6:5-8

Isaiah deems himself unworthy to see the Lord. A seraphim touched him with a hot coal and said his sin was atoned for. The Lord asked for someone to send, and Isaiah replied, “Here am I. Send me!”

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 18, Day 4: Isaiah 6:5-8

9a) Isaiah deems himself unworthy to see the Lord.

b) We often don’t understand just how much greater the Lord is than us, which means we see ourselves in a more prideful way than we should.

10a) God cleansed Isaiah of his sin and uncleanliness. He took away his guilt and atoned for his sins when the seraphim touched his lips with a live coal.

b) Humbly.

c) If you don’t acknowledge yourself as a sinner, then you can’t be sorry for your sins, confess them and repent, and receive forgiveness. As humans, we all sin and are prone to sin, and it is only through God’s power that we can overcome sin and move towards holiness.

11a) Isaiah responded immediately. God is always looking to send people out into His kingdom.

b) Not as responsive as I’d like. I usually resist, in fact. My selfishness and comfort hold me back. I need to be better at responding in the affirmative about this.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 18, Day 4: Isaiah 6:5-8

This is one of my favorite Bible passages because we see God having mercy, compassion, and grace on people, cleansing and forgiving them, and then sending people out for him. And Isaiah’s response is how we all should be.

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 18, Day 4: Isaiah 6:5-8

Seeing the holiness of God allowed Isaiah to more clearly see his unholiness. Many other great Biblical figures feel the same way in the presence of the Lord:

We sin a lot with our lips and our words, which is why Isaiah chose it here.

The burning coal was so hot that the seraphim had to use tongs to touch it.

The altar is like the one in the holy of holies. (Exodus 30:1-10), (Exodus 25:9). Fire is often used in the Bible for cleansing of sins.

Note the sequence here: Isaiah met God, was convicted of his sin, was cleansed, and then served. This is the pattern we all should follow.

Note God goes from singular (I) to plural (us), which is a reference to God as Three in One. People on God’s missions are sent.

Isaiah responded promptly and wanted to be sent.
