Question-1 John 1:19-28

John the Baptist said that he was not the Christ. Unlike now how we usually identify him, John said he was not even a prophet. He identified himself simply "a voice in the wildness (v.22)." Doesn’t this identity sound too empty? What can we as believers learn from John’s attitude? 施洗約翰説他不是基督,也不是先知(不是以利亞) 他以為他自己只不過是曠野中的聲音,他這種身份不會太過簡單嗎? 我們能從約翰那種對自己的態度學到什麼?

Question-2 John 2:13-23

When answering the Jews’ question about cleansing the Temple, Jesus introduced a new concept by equating his own body to the Temple. Please share your understanding of such a statement.在回答猶太人質問 清掃聖殿時,耶穌說他的身體就是聖殿,請大家分享耶穌這種新概念。

Question-3 John 3:22-30

In the Gospel of John, John the Baptist spent much explanation clarifying that he was not the principal one in the whole event related to Jesus. Even today Christians still have the same problem: we tend to adore the religious charismatic figures rather than value personal experiences from one’s own Bible study and praying to God. Please introspect this in our Presbyterian context . 在約翰福音書中,施洗約翰一直在解釋或否認他不是 那一位。今日的基督徒有類似的問題:我們常會去景仰宗教領袖,而不會從靈修中去領會上帝的臨在,請在長老教會的情境中去反省。

Question-4  John 1:32-35

John the Baptist bore the witness that he saw the holy spirit coming down from heave as a dove and remain on Jesus when Jesus was baptized. Later, he said, "look, the lamb of
the God". Why John, the author, will present Jesus in this natural way? A dove and a lamb?
耶穌在約旦河中洗禮時施洗約翰作証說 他看到聖靈彷彿鴿子從天而降,在耶穌的身上,以後又說 看阿,這是上帝的羔羊。為何約翰(作者)羔羊鴿子來說明耶穌?
