SESSION 10
BURIED SEEDS, ETERNAL FRUIT
Group Questions
Read John 13:1-5 Jesus is about to go the Cross but chooses to love and serve his disciples.
Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Jesus knew the authority that he had, where he came from and where he was going. What about us? What authority do we have? Where do we come from? Where are we ultimately heading?
Do we see ourselves as being so rich in Christ that we can dare to give our lives? In what ways are we rich in Christ?
