"Theology of Unbelief"- John 12:37-50 Rob Grip
1. Did you ever have an experience where you were very much set on doing something, and
then somebody said something to you, and you drastically changed your mind and did what
they told you to do? (Most of us have had experiences like that with our mothers when we
were small!)
2. What made you obey?
3. How about now? How do you react when a person tries to use a threat to make you do
something or not do something?
4. How is it different when God guides you, even to the point at times of being a threat. (Hint:
Think of “who,” “why,” and “how” in relation to this question.) What is different about
Jesus in particular?
5. How might “judicial hardening” as a response to people rejecting God make sense,
considering how God is different from us? How might those differences affect how you
respond, compared to questions 2 and 3?
