Alan Frow // John 8 : 12-59
In John 8:12-59 we encounter a group of people who love Jesus' claim to be the "light of the world," yet try to kill him when he claims to be preexistent like Yahweh. The passage serves as both a warning and an invitation. The warning is against only believing in the parts of Jesus you like. The invitation is to accept Jesus as he reveals himself so that you can be delivered from the kingdom of darkness and welcomed into the kingdom of light - no longer living as a slave, but adopted into the family of God.
1. How has Jesus, the light of the world, helped you navigate the darkness you have encountered in your life?
2. What part of Jesus' character is hard for you to accept?
3. Why do you think this group of Jews so quickly moved from believing in Jesus (8:30) to attempting to kill him (8:59)?
4. How is God inviting you to live more like a son and less like a slave (8:31-38)?
