Session 09: Life without Jesus

Passage: John 16:16–33

 

Reflect:

  1. Unpack Jesus’ metaphor of a woman giving birth. How does that tie in to what Jesus is doing? Have you experienced these emotions?

  2. How does this passage describe our relationship with the Father? How much of this are you experiencing?

  3. It’s hard to live in this world without Jesus’ presence. Give a recap of the way he has made provisions to allow his followers to thrive in this time between his ascension and his return.

 

Do:

Jesus said that we can talk directly to the Father, and that he will give us whatever we ask in his name. Take 15 minutes to talk to the Father about this. Have you been asking? How is he responding? What do you need to say to him about this? Ask something of the Father in the name of Jesus. This week, watch for the Father’s answer to that request.
