Study CornerDiscussion questions on John 5:10-24

Passing on genuine care

When Jesus steps into a person’s life, everything changes. It did this for the lame man. Sometimes we are a bit reluctant to care for the needy. We do not know what to say. But do notice that Jesus did not heal or even talk to everyone.

How did Jesus only minister to that one man there? Check out John 5:19-20. How can we begin to implement this strategic input of God’s love and power into the lives of others?

Examining our talk

Not many people genuinely believe in a judgment anymore. Many of their decisions are made as if there is no judgment. This might be true with us too as believers. What is the difference between a professing believer and a genuine believer? Are we living ‘good’ lives (5:29) or just fooling ourselves with a empty profession, “I believe in Christ” but do not obey Him?

Summary

When John presents Jesus’ ministry and teaching, we find that it matches well with what we read in John 1 about who the Word is. Jesus is God and lives on earth to bring life into the world. If a person has this Jesus-given life, then we should expect to see that life radically impact his or her life.
