Download discussion questions: John 19_23-40 buried

What was it like for John to remember and write down his eyewitness account of Jesus on the cross?  What kind of details did he include, and why?  How did he record the aftermath of the execution of the One who loved him?  Download the handout and consider both the historical narrative and the personal impact on you from this passage.

One of the goals of our discussion group has been to improve our ability to learn from the Bible individually and together.  With that end in mind, the Observation, Interpretation, and Application questions in the handout are generic, not specific to this passage.  Use the inductive method (including more suggested questions on the back of the handout) to explore this passage and sharpen your skill for understanding Scripture.
