Q

In John 9:39 Jesus said, “For judgment, I have come into this world so that the blind will see and those who
see will become blind.” When did the Pharisees ask Jesus if they were “blind” how did Jesus say their guilt
would be determined?

A

would be NOT GUILTY
b. But if you “claim you can see” (meaning that you go before God and say “look at all the good I
have done” to seek praises from God) they would be GUILTY

Q

Why did Jesus say to the Pharisees that the sheep will follow the shepherd but will not follow a stranger?

A

Because they will follow the voice of whom they believe is their caretaker (there are numerous videos you
can watch online of sheep standing in a field and having all kinds of people calling them over, but the
moment they hear the voice of their shepherd they come right away). This contrasts the previous lesson in
which Jesus admonishes the Pharisees for following the voice of “their father – the devil”.

Having a larger perspective like a belief in
God and connections to your extended family and community provides you a healthy response. You

individuals experience in life.

when we face trials” because we know that it only when we persevere through our trials that we can
build our character and mature. This process gives us hope whenever we face future trials.

by loving others and not repeating the sins of our past.

75
Q

John 9:35-41

do.

79
Q

from John 9,

86
Q

What is the difference between viewing God and His Authority as a “Ruling God” vs. seeing Him as a
“Loving God”

A

Main points of this answer is:
Ruling God: God will reward you for the good that you do and punish you for the bad that you do. The
the relationship is adversarial because you look at the authority as either giving you what you want (which
results in you trying to get your way) or taking away what you want (which results in resentment or
bitterness when you don’t get your way).
Loving God: God loves us unconditionally. He made us, gifted us, called us and sent Jesus to redeem us
from sin. Nothing we do will take away His love for us, the gifts He’s given us, or His calling on our lives.Each new day is an opportunity to fulfill this; knowing that He will provide all we need – WE JUST HAVE TO
CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THAT TRUTH
