AND YOU ALSO MUST TESTIFY

John 15:18-16:4

Key Verse: 15:26-27

1. Read verses 18-19.  Why are Jesus' disciples hated when they are only trying to do what is right and show Jesus’ love? What does it mean to belong to the world?

 

2. Read verses 20-25. What are two major reasons why did the world hated Jesus?  How did Jesus expose sin? How does this fulfill the law?

3. Read verses 26-27. How does Jesus help his disciples when they are hated by the world? How is the Holy Spirit described? What does he do? What seems to be the place of truth in this post-modern culture? 

4. What must disciples do when they are rejected and/or hated by the world? Why is the testimony of disciples so important? How does God work in such times?

5. Read 16:1-4. To what does "All this" refer? (See 15:18-27) How is this chapter related to chapter 14? (14:1,2) Why did Jesus tell his disciples “all this”?

6. What did Jesus predict about the future? (Dt 13:6ff; 17:3-6; Acts 8:1-3) Why do religious people think they are serving God when they persecute Jesus’ disciples? Why did Jesus warn his disciples about persecutions, but not protect them humanly? (1,4; Mt 5:10)
