    Stories: Peter’s Denial Foretold

    Curiosities:

    1) Love one another: how is this a new command? Isn’t this throughout the Bible? What did Jesus mean when He called this a new command? Jesus is obviously speaking of something new in this command, so it’s worthy of investigation with the Holy Spirit as to exactly how to live this out. How can we love each other if our standard is the love that Jesus had for us? It’s beyond our ability!

    2) This issue of a rooster crowing is very interesting. Other gospels put the details differently. When it comes to details like this, we need to keep in mind what is and isn’t important. From John’s perspective, he is leaving out details he felt unimportant to his point. The three denials are the important part of this which we will revisit in John’s last chapter.

    3) John tells Peter’s story more than any other disciple in his book. He tells the weighty, important parts as an example for us and he also shares some lighthearted parts of Peter’s story. I love reading between the lines knowing that these two men would love, respect and work together for decades to come spreading the gospel around the world.

    Paradoxes: How is Peter’s denial different from Judas’ betrayal? Why is Judas the bad guy and Peter becomes the leader of the church?

    Day 2: John 13:18-30 Stories: Judas’ Betrayal Foretold Curiosities: 1) Why is Jesus so troubled by His betrayal? Didn’t He choose Judas knowing full well what he would one day do?

    Stories: Judas’ Betrayal Foretold

    Curiosities:

    1) Why is Jesus so troubled by His betrayal? Didn’t He choose Judas knowing full well what he would one day do? Why is Jesus so filled with emotion over this?

    2) This is the moment John used to define himself for the rest of his life and this book. He was no longer a rough, manly fisherman, but a gentle soul in love with God Himself. For John to set aside the macho exterior for this identity says a lot about himself and the Son of Man that he came to know.

    3) Why the dipping in the bowl thing? How did the disciples not understand what was happening?

    4) What does it mean for Satan to enter someone? How exactly did this work and how would it work today?

    Paradoxes: As we’ve looked at before, why did Jesus choose Judas knowing what he would one day do?

    Day 1: John 13:1-17 Stories: Jesus washes the disciples’ feet Curiosities: 1) It is interesting how John adds his commentary at the beginning of this chapter.

    Day 1: John 13:1-17

    Stories: Jesus washes the disciples’ feet

    Curiosities:

    1) It is interesting how John adds his commentary at the beginning of this chapter. He rarely does this throughout the book, so we see something is different here. This is the moment when he leaned against Jesus’ chest at the dinner, so it became a pivotal and defining moment for John. This was very special to him.

    2) Peter was always all in our all out. His refusal and then insistence to be washed is somewhat funny in the midst of what is going on. There are several times in the book where it seems like John is including stories of Peter for amusement’s sake. I sense a brotherly love in some poking of fun at Peter with things like this.

    3) They didn’t understand, but they soon would: The disciples made a dramatic change after the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost and the same people who wanted to call down fire on others now are walking in the authority and humility of Jesus as they saw when they were with Him. This was a beautiful example set for His disciples

    Paradoxes: Why does the creator of all things stoop down to wash our feet? Why does God humble Himself for our sake? We don’t deserve it

    Day 5: John 12:37-50

    Stories: Those who believe in Jesus

    Curiosities:

    1) Why would God prophesy in advance that people wouldn’t believe Jesus’ message? Why would God want to “blind their eyes?” Doesn’t God want everyone to believe? - There is a mysterious way about God in that He creates excuses for people not to believe in Him if they want them. He makes it easy for people to refuse Him if they choose to. Why would He do this?

    2) Many leaders believed in Jesus but they loved human praise so they wouldn’t openly accept Him. What a sad statement. In what ways are we exactly the same? In what ways to we honor people instead of God?

    3) Everything Jesus said is what the Father commanded Him to say. Why did God have Him say paradoxical things?

    Paradoxes: Why does Jesus here say that He didn’t come to judge the world when He said just the opposite in chapter 9? “For judgment I have come into this world…” (John 9:39)

    Day 4: John 12:12-36 Stories: Triumphant Entry; Voice from Heaven Curiosities: 1) Why did they wave palm branches? Why Hosanna? What did they mean when they said “king of Israel?” 2) Why didn’t Jesus respond to the Greeks’ question? 3) Why was Jesus’ soul troubled? Wasn’t this why He came in the first place? I think […]

    Stories: Triumphant Entry; Voice from Heaven

    Curiosities:

    1) Why did they wave palm branches? Why Hosanna? What did they mean when they said “king of Israel?”

    2) Why didn’t Jesus respond to the Greeks’ question?

    3) Why was Jesus’ soul troubled? Wasn’t this why He came in the first place? I think this beautifully speaks to the emotions of God - He is not a stoic, emotionless killjoy as many fear, but a feeling, caring God who knows the depths of what we go through.

    4) Why did the voice come from heaven?

    Paradoxes: The people were right in their understanding that the Messiah would remain forever, so why did Jesus die and go away?
