The Vineyard
I am the vine; you
are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much
fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
John
21:15-19
- This
was one of the stories the children learned at VBS. The question we asked them was, how do you
think Peter felt when he realized he had Jesus’ forgiveness, even after denying
him three times?
- Do
you think it’s a coincidence that Jesus gives Peter three opportunities to say
“I love you”? What do you think it meant
to Peter, to be able to say “I love you” three times, to the one whom he had
denied three times just a few days before?
- What
does this tell you about our ability to change, and Jesus ability to forgive?
- What
does Jesus’ say will be required of Peter?
Will following Jesus be easy?
John
15:1-11:
- This
is another passage that our kids looked at during VBS. What do you think it means for Jesus to be
the vine, and for us to be the branches?
- What
does it mean to abide in Jesus? If a
branch becomes separated from the vine, does it survive? Why does it need the vine to live and to
thrive?
- Why
do we need Jesus spiritually? What does
Jesus provide so that our spirits can thrive?
-
What
does Jesus’ tell us to abide in? (verse
9) How
does the joy of Jesus reside in us? How
does that make our joy full, or complete?
