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
6:22-59
- This
passage comes on the heels of Jesus’ miraculously feeding the 5,000. How is it that the crowd saw this miracle,
and yet still demanded a sign from Jesus?
- The
crowd seems fixated on manna, or the bread that God miraculously provided for
the Israelites during the Exodus. As
wonderful as it was, it was a purely physical blessing. Do we ever get so consumed by physical, or
material things, that we miss out on spiritual blessings?
- What
do you think Jesus means when he says “I AM the bread of life”? What does that imply about who he is, and his
role in our lives?
- How
do we obey Jesus command to “eat his flesh”, and “drink his blood”? How do we consume Jesus to obtain eternal
life?
Psalm
115:
- This
psalm reminds us that the glory belongs to whom? To ourselves?
Or to the name of the Lord?
-
What
is the basis of this glory?
- What
are the gods, or idols, of the other nations made out of? Who made them?\
- Does
it make sense to worship things that we ourselves create? Are you guilty of worshipping, or giving
priority to things you have created, or obtained?
- How
long does our blessing of the Lord last?
