BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 4: John 21:18-23

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

Summary of John 21:18-23

Jesus tells Peter that he must follow him despite the death he will face. Peter asked about John’s death, and Jesus said that John’s death is none of his business and that his only job is to follow him.

9)  “When you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

10a) If John would die as he was going to die.

b) Jesus said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” This shows us that we should not worry about others, only ourselves and our mission for God.

11) That we are not to question the life and death of others, as that is God’s job. We are only to follow the path Jesus has for us.

I don’t remember this part of John. Super interesting.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 4: John 21:18-23

When John was younger, he had less responsibilities. Now, as he gets older, he is to follow Jesus. He would go to jail (be restrained) and would die on a cross (with stretched out hands) to glorify God.

Peter was called to follow Christ even after Jesus told him he would die doing so.

Peter didn’t immediately say yes. Instead, he asked about John.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 3: John 21:15-17

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

Summary of John 21:15-17

Jesus asked Peter if he loved him three times, and he said that if he did, he should feed the people and take care of them.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 3: John 21:15-17

6) Peter denied Christ three times when he said he would never do such a thing and he claimed he loved Christ more than the other disciples. (Matthew 26:33). Peter needed to be reaffirmed after this by Jesus and in the eyes of the others, which leads to this scene.

7a )

Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

b) Peter needed to be reaffirmed after this by Jesus and in the eyes of the others.

c) There is a deeper love Peter has for Jesus, especially after this scene. Peter knows Jesus knows him better than he knows himself. He is humble here and ready to do Jesus’ work.

8 ) If you love Jesus, you serve others. God is calling me to serve others, too. Such as with this blog.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 3: John 21:15-17

I love how Jesus cares enough for us to give us exactly what we need, when we need it, like we see here with Peter.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 3: John 21:15-17

Jesus gives Peter the command that if he loves him, he will tend Jesus’ sheep.

Jesus allows Peter to face his failures (his denial of him three times) and to move forward with the work ahead (of tending his sheep while he’s gone).

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 2: John 21:1-14

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

Summary of John 21:1-14

Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples went fishing. They caught nothing. Then, Jesus appeared, told them to throw out their net, and they hauled in a ton of fish. John recognized Jesus, and Peter jumped out to swim to him. When they landed, Jesus was cooking fish for them. This was the third time Jesus appeared to them after his death.

3) They caught no fish when fishing on their own. When Jesus appeared to them while they were fishing, he told them to throw out their net, whereby they caught fish.

4a) A miracle took place. Jesus had provided them with fish before while they were fishing.

b) With excitement, enthusiasm, and faith. John testified it was Jesus, and Peter jumped in to get to Jesus. I love Peter’s love and devotion for the Lord and willingness to do anything to be near him. He does not have a care in the world. John is always the first to speak out.

c) With enthusiasm,, devotion, and carefreeness. With faith. With gratitude.

5a) He provided for their physical, spiritual, and mental needs. He fed them. He reappeared to them, strengthening their faith in him. He helped them fish after a long day of frustration.

b) With a flexible job to go and be able to do doctor’s appointments for my kids. He met my physical, spiritual, and mental needs, too.

Love this lesson on how Jesus always knows exactly what we need, when we need it.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 28, Day 2: John 21:1-14

Here, Jesus appears to his disciples after his death at the Sea of Tiberias in Galilee. Jesus had told them to return to Galilee (Matthew 28:7, 28:10).

Bible scholars speculate as to why the disciples went back to their former occupations. To me, they were still waiting for Jesus’ timing.

Note the disciples obeyed who they thought was a stranger. God uses others for His purposes. He blesses doers.

Note Jesus had food for the disciples before they landed with their catch. Jesus was prepared.

Scholars believe 153 fish would weigh 300 lbs. Peter pulled this himself. Scholars debate the number 153, but we will never know its significance or if it even had one.

Jesus again serves others, his disciples. Jesus always invites us to him: to see, to learn, to rest, to eat.

Everyone knew it was the Lord; none questioned it.

Jesus ate with his disciples.

This is the third time that John recorded Jesus appearing after his resurrection. There were doubtless many others.
