BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 5: John 6:67-71

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

SUMMARY OF JOHN 6:67-71

Jesus asked the 12 disciples if they wanted to leave, too. Peter answers by saying they have no where else to go. Jesus has the words of eternal life, and they believe he is the Son of God. Yet, Judas is the devil and will betray him.

12a) It’s almost as if there is nothing else to do, so why not follow Jesus. Yet, they are with Jesus who will lead them. They have no one else.

b) It’s as if their faith is still not 100% sure, but they have gone this far, so why not finish it. It’s challenged me to be all in with Christ no matter what others say or do.

c) All other options in this world are empty, meaningless, and frankly, unhelpful. Only Jesus holds the truth. He is our only salvation. Prayer and the Word keep me with him.

13) Jesus chose us. It’s a privilege and an honor and one that must be treated as such. Jesus gets angry when he is rejected because he wants all of us to be his. It’s sadness, too.

Peter is honest that there is no one else. It’s important to believe this wholeheartedly.

map of kerioth where Judas Escariot is fromAs Peter said, there is no one else. There is no alternative. You choose Jesus and life or you choose death. The choice is yours.

Devil here means “slanderer” or “false-accuser” in the Greek.

Some will betray Jesus, yet it cannot affect our walk. Some in church are unbelievers, too. We must be wary of them.

Judas was from Karioth, as stated in all four gospels. Iscariot means ‘a man of Karioth.’

Kerioth was a city in the southern part of Judah (Joshua 15:25), south of Hebron in the dry Negeb.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 4: John 6:60-66

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

SUMMARY OF JOHN 6:60-66

Jesus offended many with his teaching that he is the flesh and blood that leads to life. He tells the people he is giving them Spirit and Life, yet they reject him. God enables people to believe in him.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 4: John 6:60-66

9a) Accepting Jesus’ sacrifice gives you life. The physical body is not enough to give you life. You must accept Jesus’ teaching and his sacrifice (flesh and spirit) to receive eternal life. The spiritual gives life, not the physical.

b) Without being all it, it’s meaningless and oftentimes, insufficient. You must do things whole-heartedly for Jesus. Going through the motions is not enough.

10a) They just could not accept his teaching of the flesh and blood. They could not accept him as God’s Son.

b) No, not really. If it did, I would pray for a deeper understanding and seek resources that explained it to me.

11a) They reject him. Disdain. “Just another prophet.” They dismiss him.

b) With loving faith and wholehearted devotion.

There are always doubters and naysayers. Our job is to seek the Truth in God’s Word and in prayer and to ignore those who try to make you fall.

Many found Jesus’ teaching hard to understand and accept that he would die for them. Jesus understood their confusion, but did not break. Many probably were looking for a messianic king, not a sacrificial lamb.

Better to accept now that to face Jesus on judgment day in all his glory as an unbeliever and receive condemnation.

Many came for bread and not for the spirit, and Jesus knew that. They had not then truly come to him.

Many left because they only wanted material gains from Jesus. Perhaps, many were confused by the religious leaders  (John 6:52).

It was the first apostasy Jesus faced. Yet, many would come back. We all have highs and lows in our beliefs. Yet, you must stay faithful even when things are rough.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 2: John 6:41-51

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

SUMMARY OF JOHN 6:41-51

The Jews were unsure of Jesus calling himself the bread of life because they grew up with him. How could he have come down from heaven? Jesus tells them to stop grumbling. All who come to him were chosen by the Father and those who come will be raised. Anyone can eat the bread from heaven that Jesus offers and live.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 2: John 6:41-51

3) “Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.” Those who have heard the word of God and believed in Jesus will come to Jesus. The Scriptures speak of Jesus. The Bible is full of the Spirit and Life.

4) Jesus says that no one has seen the Father except him. And, anyone who has seen Jesus has seen God. It means that those who know Jesus know God, so we can grow closer to God the closer we grow to Christ and the deeper our faith grows.

5) With belief in Christ, you will live forever. My response is joy, hope, peace, and comfort.

I love how intricately God and Jesus are linked, and it’s hard to grasp, but Jesus’ analogy of the bread of life makes it easier.

Fun Fact: Six times Jesus says he ‘came down from heaven’ (6:33, 38, 41, 50, 51, 58).

Accepting Jesus as from heaven is too much for those who knew Jesus as a child growing up. In addition, they expect someone to emerge from the clouds as their Savior.

The Jews believed because they were born Jews that they get to heaven automatically. Jesus says that God chooses them to believe in him instead. Heaven is not automatic.

Those who come will have everlasting life. Jesus quoted from Isaiah 54:13 saying then they will be taught by God.

If you are taught by God, you will believe in Jesus because they are one in the same.

No one else in the Bible has ever made claims of being God’s son and offering everlasting life. This is why the people are so confused.

Jesus is necessary for spiritual life as bread is for physical life.

The manna in the wilderness was for physical needs. Jesus is the bread of life and is everlasting.

The bread is his flesh/life that he will give to save the world.
