We Would Like to See Jesus

WELCOME ICEBREAKER

What famous person living today would you like to meet?

WORSHIP

Review with the group the importance of worshipping in spirit and in truth.

WORD

As a group read John 12:1-22.

Discussion questions:

1. People then were very interested in seeing Jesus. Today people are still very interested in seeing Jesus. This is proven on Google searches with 'Who is Jesus?' as the number 4 in the top 10. Only 'Who is God?' which comes in at number 1, is higher for an entity. Why were people so interested in seeing Jesus then? Are the reasons the same today? If not what is the difference?
   
   
2. What do you think the Roman soldiers thought of the festival that celebrated a King riding a donkey?
   
   
3. Of all the people in the crowd that day who do you think sincerely was worshipping Jesus? Why?
   
   
4. What do you think the people were saying about Lazarus? (verse 17). Why were the religious leaders anxious to get rid of Jesus?
   
   
5. Why do you think the Greeks came up after wanting to talk with Jesus personally?
   
   
6. How well do you think the world sees Jesus in the church today?
