Download discussion questions:  John 16_6-23 many things to say

Time is short.  Jesus has many things to say to His followers (John 16:12), but they are in no condition to take in all that He has for them.  He must have been choosing His words with special care, knowing that what the disciples heard in the next few minutes would be their last memory of Him before the arrest.  But He also continued to describe the coming Helper who would continue to teach them.  No wonder He describes both their grief and their joy.

The handout this week includes the passage and some very general Observation, Interpretation, and Application questions.  I will probably not be able to attend our study group this week.  The discussion will be an opportunity to see what thoughts this rich passage prompts from others in the group.  I look forward to hearing the results.
