Questions for the Community
Personal Reflection
- Which of the various “Which way?” questions are most pressing to you right now? (relationship? school? career? $? habit?)
- In what arena do you have a strong sense of direction (driving? ethics? relationships?) and where are you directionally challenged?
Group Discussion
- As you consider the text this week and the “I AM” statement of Jesus, what most stands out to you?
- Do you feel empowered by the knowledge that knowing Jesus means you now also know the way, truth and life? Explain.
- One example of the completely different way of Jesus is found as Paul writes about wisdom and understanding. Read 1 Cor. 2:10 through the end of chpt. 3…what do you see there that ties into Jesus being the Way, Truth and Life?
- Take one person from the Bible, culture or your circles and think carefully about what their path is preaching. What would someone conclude about YOUR path if they were to think long and hard about your life?
Plan of Action
7. Create space this week for some reflection (God help me consider my way…see if there is any wicked way in me…steer me!) repentance (remember the word means turn around, so not just acknowledging wrong ways but renouncing them by action) and restoration (God thank you for the truth of 1 John 1:9 and John 14!…I receive the promises you’ve made)
