REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What might it mean to “exegete the Father” as described in the sermon, and how does this concept help us understand who Jesus is?

2. Why is it important to recognize both the humanity and divinity of Jesus when understanding His role in revealing God to us? How does understanding Jesus' dual nature influence your perspective on challenges you face as a believer?

3. The first “key” is that Jesus is God’s Words, made understandable. What does this mean to you? Does it teach you anything new about Jesus?

4. The second “key” is that Jesus is God’s Life, made undefeatable. What do you think this means? How might this offer real hope to us?

5. The third “key” is that Jesus is God’s Light, making God’s Way visible. What does this teach us about the relationship between Jesus’s example and how we live our own lives?

6. The final “key” is that Jesus is God’s Purpose, made believable. Talk this through with a friend in your small group, or with God in prayer: how does Jesus really accomplish this? Do you believe in him? What does this mean?

7. What do you think the word “repentance” means? Why do you think it’s understood to be such a crucial part of what it means to be a Christian?

8. One way of understanding our task, as Christians, is to “exegete Jesus” in much the same way Jesus “exegetes” the Father. Have you ever thought about Christian living in this way? What does it illuminate for you? How can you act on what you are discovering?
