John 7:1-13 A Sovereign Timetable If you have ever had a sibling not treat you well, you know that can be really hard. Jesus knew what this felt like too. John 7 tells us that not even his own brothers believed He was the Savior. But Jesus never failed in His plan to save us, even though so many were against Him. Let's think about it: 1. Brotherly betrayal 2. Perfect timing 3. Popular opinion Verse: John 7:5 For not even his brothers believed in him. Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. Consider for a moment the pain Jesus probably experienced at the unbelief of his brothers. How does this experience of Jesus help us appreciate the scope of his suffering for you? How might this help you in your own hurts and losses? 2. Why did Jesus not go up to the feast at his brothers' urging? Why do you think He went secretly later? Is there a contradiction here? How does this show us Jesus' sovereign timetable for our salvation? 3. What were the popular opinions about Jesus in vv. 11-13? How might they reflect people's views about Jesus today?

John 6:41-47 Drawn by the Father Summary: Jesus made a bold, amazing claim: he claimed to have come down to us from heaven itself! Many of the people around Jesus knew his parents, and even had seen him grow up. This made it hard for them to accept that he came down from heaven, because they did not understand that God sent him as a baby to be born of Mary. Do you struggle to believe that Jesus was God's own Son sent from heaven to save us? Today let's listen and think about this struggle, and ask God for faith to believe in His Son: Outline: 1. The struggle to believe 2. The power to believe 3. The invitation to believe Verse: John 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. Why did the people grumble about Jesus' claims? Do you have struggles to believe the things that Jesus says, especially in this passage? 2. Why does Jesus emphasize again that we cannot believe and come to him without the Father drawing us? Why is this so important for understanding how God saves us? 3. Jesus speaks of eternal life, the reality of heaven, and being
