Read John 12:1-11

  1. What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?

  2. If Jesus knew Judas was a thief (John 12:6, and see John 2:24-25), why did Jesus allow Judas to be the treasurer and steal from their funds?

  3. Explain Jesus’ statement in John 12:8. What was He saying about worship? What was He saying about taking care of the poor?

  4. Why did the chief priests want to kill Lazarus (John 12:10)? How is this like “cancel culture” in our day?

  5. How would you show an unbeliever Jesus’ worth?
