Chapter 8
On today’s journey we find ourselves encountering Jesus’ important claims about himself. As we will see in this chapter, His primary teachings are not solely about living right. Rather, Jesus is concerned with teaching about who he is and what he has come to do.
1
Jesus claims, "I am the light of the ___________." (8:12)
2
Jesus also makes the statement, "The one who follows me will never walk in __________, but will have the light of ________." (8:12)
3
We all know that it can be dangerous to walk in a dark room, or drive in the dark without any light. Is it dangerous for us to "live" life without a spiritual light?
4
Jesus claims to be the light of the world. Jesus says that this claim is true because, "I know where I came _________ and where I am __________." (8:14)
5
If Jesus is claiming to be the light that leads us to true life with God, why do you think it is important that he came from God to show us the way to God?
6
There is the consequence for "dying in your sin." Jesus says, "where I am going, you cannot ____________." (8:21)
7
What did Jesus say must be done so that a person would not die in their sins? (8:24)
8
Jesus says to some who professed to believe in him, "If you continue to follow my ____________, you are really my ______________." (8:31)
9
Why is it important to follow Jesus and know the truth? (8:32)
10
Could an ordinary human say, "Before Abraham came into existence, I am?" (8:58)
11
Do you think that Jesus was attempting to tell his audience that he was more than a mere human?
