DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

This is a study guide commentary, which means that you are responsible for your own interpretation of the Bible. Each of us must walk in the light we have. You, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit are priority in interpretation. You must not relinquish this to a commentator.

These discussion questions are provided to help you think through the major issues of this section of the book. They are meant to be thought-provoking, not definitive.

1. Why does John mix his metaphors so often (Example: "Jesus is both the door of the sheepfold and the good shepherd")?

2. What is the OT background to John 10?

3. What is the significance of Jesus "laying down His life?"

4. Why did the Jews continue to accuse Jesus of being demon-possessed?

5. Why are Jesus' works so important?

6. How do we relate the "security of the believer" to the "perseverance of the saints?"
