DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
John’s job was to point people to Jesus. John the Baptist told people to get ready for Jesus, the promised Messiah.
- Is it wrong to want to be famous? Why or why not?
- Why is God’s glory more important than our own glory?
Guide your child to open their Bibles to John 3. Read aloud John 3:35-36. Explain that we follow Jesus and no one else because Jesus is the One who brings salvation. When we trust in Him, we are saved from sin and death.
Why did John say Jesus must become greater and he (John) must become less?
Prompt your child to recall that with Jesus on earth, John’s mission was complete. Jesus was the One whom people had been waiting for—the promised Messiah who would save people from their sins! Jesus was greater than John, and John joyfully stepped aside as Jesus began His earthly ministry. (Option: Read Luke 14:11.)
Who deserves fame and glory in our own lives—us or God? Why?
Help your child to recognize that even when you work hard to accomplish something great, you can give God glory because He made you and gives you special talents and abilities. Prompt them to discuss ways they can make Jesus famous instead of trying to make a great name for themselves. (Option: Read Matt. 5:16.
How can we point others to Jesus?
Discuss how we can tell people directly about Jesus, and we can also show kindness and have peace in a way that shows we trust Jesus with our lives and our future. (Option: Read 1 Pet. 3:15.)
