John 12:44-50
A Final Plea
Summary:
Who is Jesus and why did he come? These are really important questions for us to answer. Today let's listen in as Jesus sums up who he is and why he came from heaven to earth. These are his last words to the crowds before he focuses on the twelve disciples, and then goes to the cross.
Outline:
1. Jesus and His Father
2. Unbelief and judgment
3. Commanded to believe
Verse: I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. (John 12:46)
Questions for devotions and family worship:
1. How are these final public words of Jesus a summary of all he has taught so far? What are the central themes?
2. How does Jesus reveal his relationship to His Father in these verses? Why is it important for us to understand this relationship?
3. What warning does Jesus give to those who reject Him?
4. Why do you think in this passage that Jesus

John 12:37-43
Blind Unbelief and Secret Faith
Summary:
It is sad when people reject Jesus. As the apostle John saw Jesus' ministry and believed in him, he also saw many reject His Lord. Let's listen today as he talks about people's spiritual blindness.
Outline:
1. Blind unbelief: God's response to persistently rejecting Jesus
2. Secret Faith: When love for the world wins over love for Jesus
3. An urgent call to walk in the light
Verse: John 12:46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.
Questions for devotions and family worship:
1. This is a difficult passage, explaining what happens when people persist in unbelief, even though they had seen Jesus' many signs. Why does John quote from Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 6 to explain it?
2. It is important to see that God's actions of blinding and hardening (v. 40) are judicial actions that are a result of people's persistent rejection of Jesus. Why is this important?
3. Many religious leaders in Jesus' day believed in him, but kept it secret. Why did they do so? How could that challenge our faith today?
