Ask the Questions

Bigs Discussion Questions

What did Jesus say God wants people to do? (believe in Him, John 6:29)
Who will have eternal life? (everyone who believes in Jesus; John 6:40)
Why did many of Jesus’ followers go away from Him? (His teaching was difficult to understand and accept, John 6:60-66)
How can we eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood?
Remind the kids that Jesus was not speaking literally. Guide them to think about the way Jesus’ body would be killed and His blood spilled to make the way for us to be saved. Discuss how believers consume the Lord’s Supper to remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us.
Who can help you understand the Bible?
Direct the kids to pastors, elders, deacons, their parents, and so forth. Remind them that God has sent the Holy Spirit to live within believers. He helps us understand God’s Word with the help of other believers.
How can we help people who don’t know Jesus come to understand and believe in Him?
Guide kids to practical steps they can take, like offering to read their Bibles with friends or inviting them to church. Remind the kids that only the Holy Spirit can make other people understand the truth, but we should try to give them the opportunity to hear it. Talk about what living on mission means and how it accomplishes that goal.

Elementary Discussion Questions

How would you answer Jesus’ question—you don’t want to go away too, do you? Do any of
Jesus’ teachings confuse you?
Invite kids to share their thoughts. Acknowledge any doubts or confusion. Emphasize that Jesus’ closest disciples recognized that even though Jesus’ teachings were hard, He has the words of eternal life. He is the Holy One of God.
What did Jesus mean when He said people would eat His body and drink His blood?
Lead kids to identify that Jesus was talking about His death and resurrection. He did not mean people would literally eat Him; He meant that those who trust in His finished work on the cross would have forgiveness and eternal life. Point out that when we take the Lord’s Supper (the bread and drink), we remember what Jesus did for us.
What kind of king did the people want Jesus to be? What kind of King is Jesus?
Help kids recall that people thought Jesus would provide physical food and protection from enemy kings. But Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world. He came to give life by rescuing sinners.
