BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

3a)

Justice: Justice to me is enacting proper consequences for wrongdoing.

Mercy: Mercy is giving undeserved grace to others.

b) Positive aspects of justice and mercy: Justice can bring peace and allow for forgiveness. Mercy can help give others a second chance even if they don’t deserve it.

Negative aspects of justice and mercy: Improper justice can bring pain to others. Showing too much mercy can leave the door open for more pain.

c) Exodus 34:6-7: God punishes the guilty. Yet, He forgives the wicked, the rebellious, and those who sin.

John 3:16-18: God sent His Son to save the world from their sin, showing the ultimate mercy.

2 Peter 3:9: God gives everyone a chance to come to Him, showing mercy.

4a) I’ve received justice by paying the consequences for my sins.

b) I’ve definitely received mercy from God for allowing me to believe in Jesus and have everlasting life. I’ve received mercy from others whom I’ve hurt and they have forgiven me.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

I liked this lesson, but it was hard to quantify justice and mercy. They are both such big ideas, and God offers both to us on a daily basis that it’s hard to truly grasp the entire meaning of both words.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

Justice is the treatment of people with fairness and dignity and living righteously with God.

Mercy is compassion or leniency shown to another person, especially someone who has offended you. Mercy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The ultimate show of mercy was God’s sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, on the cross for us.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 21, Day 2: John 15:26-16:7

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

Summary of John 15:26-16:7

The Holy Spirit will testify about Jesus. Jesus warns his disciples that they will be persecuted and put out of the church. He has to go away so that the Holy Spirit will come and be with them.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 21, Day 2: John 15:26-16:7

3a) Advocate: reveals that the Holy Spirit will speak for them to the Father. Spirit of Truth: reveals that the Holy Spirit will speak truth to them/you.

b) The Holy Trinity work together for our good so that we can be close to God forever. The job of the Holy Spirit is to tell us and show us who Jesus is. Jesus intervenes on our behalf, so we can be with God. Being with God is the end-all.

4a) The disciples will be put out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.

b) Be prepared for it. Pray about it when it happens. Ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to help and intervene.

c) Jesus loves believers. He wants us to be prepared for hardships, and he equips us with the tools to persevere through them.

5a)  It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

b) Gosh, too many to list here. He guides me in all of my griefs and struggles, and I lean on His understanding not my own for them.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 21, Day 2: John 15:26-16:7

I love how God always provides for our needs by giving us everything we need to make it through this world.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 21, Day 2: John 15:26-16:7

John 13-17 is Jesus’ instruction and prayer for the disciples and for us.

Jesus warned his disciples of the coming persecution, so they could be prepared for it and fortify themselves and not stumble on their mission to spread the Gospel.

Recall that Peter had asked this question (John 13:36) and Thomas (John 14:5).

Despite all the grief and suffering, the disciples would be better when Jesus left them. They will grow in Christ, and the Holy Spirit would come.

Now, Jesus could be with every believer all the time. We understand him better because he is with us and we have his words. We have a way to and a relationship with God.

The Holy Spirit can only come if Jesus left. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the work God has for us.
