Questions to Discuss or Ponder:
- What was your experience with Lent growing up? What do you understand to be the purpose of this season?
- What differences are there between John and the other Gospels? Why do those differences exist? How do they help us see Jesus better?
- What would we be missing if we didn’t have the Gospel of John?
- When have you been tempted, like Peter, to return to something familiar in the face of uncertainty? What happened?
- Do you love Jesus more than “these”?
- Why is it so easy to focus on other things or other people rather than on what Jesus has called us to do?
