Discussion Questions
Resolved to Mourn (John 11:17-37)
What are some reasons you have found, both biblically and practically, that an all-powerful and all-good God would allow suffering?
How should we respond when someone is suffering? What is helpful to say and do, and what isn’t helpful?
How have you personally experienced Christian faith and the Christian community supporting, serving and giving you hope and encouragement in the midst of your suffering?
Resolved to Raise (John 11:38-45)
How can we help “roll away” the stone in other people’s lives to get them to Jesus?
How do the life and ministry of Jesus change the way we understand and undergo suffering?
What does Lazarus’ resurrection teach us about God’s heart and plan for suffering?
Resolved to Die (John 11:46-53)
How does Jesus’ death in our place, for our sin help us when we’re struggling with condemnation and guilt?
Substitution is the heart of Christian faith, but how would you explain the mercy and justice of God to a non-Christian who is unfamiliar with the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection?
