Experiencing Jesus as Friend
These questions are connected to the message, Experiencing Jesus as Friend. You can watch it here.
- What caught your attention or challenged your way of thinking about God in this message?
- How has the message of Jesus made you uncomfortable or challenged your way of seeing the world, others, or the Bible?
- Robyn quoted Adolf Holl: “Whoever feels attracted to Jesus cannot adequately explain why, we must be prepared to be always correcting our image of Jesus for we will never exhaust what there is to know. Jesus is full of surprises.” How has your image or impressions of Jesus changed over time? How have you experienced that change? Was it difficult or freeing? Explain. Has Jesus ever surprised you? Are you open to Jesus surprising you? Why or why not?
- If we truly saw everyone as friends of Jesus, how would our days unfold or our interactions be different?
- Robyn invited us into an imagination experiment: to envision the whole world connected by friendship and around one enormous table, sharing our foods and stories and lives. Is that something that you could practice imagining every day for one week as a spiritual exercise? Who would you struggle to include in your friendship circle, at that table?
