In Christ Alone - Part 82

Home Fellowship Discussion Guide, Week of August 8th, 2022

Q: Where do you go most often to meet with Jesus alone?

FIRST READ: John 18:1-11
Q: Why did Judas come after Jesus was such a strong, heavily armed company? What did he fear? What do you think was on his mind at this point? How do you think he justified having Jesus arrested?

Q: How much knowledge about His future did Jesus have at this point? (v. 4) Since He already knew the answer to the question, why did Jesus ask “Whom do you seek?” (v. 4)

Q: Do you think there were people in the crowd who still didn’t recognize Jesus? (v. 5) Jesus answered with “I am he.” What did the crowd know about Him so far? What did the disciples understand about Him at this point?

Q: In your prayerful imagination, how do you see the scene in verse 6? Where the people swept to the ground by a mighty wind? Pastor Luke suggested an earthquake. What do you think? And what does this indicated about the name and power of Jesus’ spoken word?

Q: What does verse 9 tell you about Judas? Do you think that churches can still have the spirit of Judas in their midst? How should a church deal with this kind of person when revealed?
