To study John 7 in a group
1. What it says
At the festival, what do the people think of Jesus, and what do the guards sent to arrest him say? (vv. 12, 40-46)
2. What it means
Jesus says, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” (v. 37). What does he promise the one who believes in him? (vv. 37-39)
3. How I live it
Nicodemus asked that Jesus be heard before being judged (v. 51). When is it wise for you to listen first before forming an opinion about someone?
