John 3

John 3

We start John 3 with a conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus. Reread verse 6-8.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

In verse 8 Jesus explains that the wind blows every which way and we as humans cannot understand it or predict it. He then draws a comparison between the wind and the Holy Spirit.

How can we know when something is of the Holy Spirit vs. our own desires?

What are the fruits of the spirit? (Check out Galatians 5: 22-23)

When you are acting in line with the Holy Spirit, how should that look?

Jesus goes on to explain his mission to Nicodemus. Reread verse 16-21.

Why do we so often think God is out to get us? Where does this attitude come from?

In what ways do you want to stay in the darkness?

Finally, we see John humble himself in verse 30. We see a guy that truly “gets it”. It’s not about his success, his kingdome, or his followers. It is about doing what God tells him to do (prepare the way for Jesus).

In what ways do we need to become less so God can become more?
