背诵经文
约翰福音16:33
开始祷告(5-10分钟)
团队建造(10分钟)
让大家握着手围成一圈。拿一个软的东西（球，枕头等）放在圈的中心。游戏的目的是，通过四处移动，将其他人拉向那个东西，但你始终不得放开两边的人。谁碰到那个东西谁就被淘汰。
游戏一直进行，直到只剩下最后一个人为止。
课堂起头(5分钟)
我们对约翰福音的学习即将结束。只剩两课了！今天我们要谈谈耶稣临死前是如何教导我们生活的。
一般讨论：
•如果你制定了一些“如何生活”的规则，你的前三项会是什么？为什么？（允许学生分享和讨论。）
•什么样的生活规则才是好的？（它们对每个人都有好处，可以使社区变得更好，等等。）
耶稣的清单可能与我们的不同，但祂从约翰15章开始列清单了。让我们翻到那里。
深入学习(30分钟)
分配三分之一的学生读约翰福音15。
分配另三分之一的学生读约翰福音16。
分配最后三分之一的学生读约翰福音17。
给他们5-10分钟读各自的章节。告诉他们要特别注意（甚至写下）他们读到的耶稣在各个章节中关于生活的指导。
5至10分钟后，将各小组召集在一起，然后问各小组以下问题。
问题讨论：
1.总结一下本章，大致说了什么？
2.在你所读的章节中，耶稣说到了哪些东西？
3.耶稣说的是命令，建议还是什么？
4.耶稣说谁，将帮助我们？
耶稣在这些章节中详尽地谈到了爱，忠信，合一，在逼迫下的坚毅以及圣灵将如何赋予我们能力。当你想到基督徒的生活时，我不知道你的想法，但是耶稣确实给了我们该如何为祂而活的概述。
下面，让我们探讨一下如何应用到现实生活中。
应用(25分钟)
1.彼此相爱
读 约翰福音15：12-17
耶稣通过教导我们要彼此相爱，向我们展示了该如何生活。
问题讨论：
1.根据第十二节，我们该如何相爱？（如同耶稣爱我们一样。）
2.耶稣如何爱我们？（祂为我们舍命。）
3.祂彼此相爱的命令应该是什么样子呢？（互相奉献，把别人的需求放在我们自己的前面，等等）
爱是一项需要很多意义感和毅力的行动。当我们把自己浇灌在别人身上时，我们的精力会被耗尽。值得感谢的是，在这方面，圣灵会挑旺我们。
2.和耶稣联结
读 约翰福音15：1-11
这实际上是这三章的开始。实际上，这就是像耶稣一样生活的根基-住在基督里。
问题讨论：
1.耶稣说自己如同什么？（葡萄树）
2.父扮演什么角色？（栽培的人）
3.耶稣命令我们什么？（我们应该和祂联结在一起。）
4.如何切实地与耶稣联结在一起？（和祂的子民联结在一起，通过属灵学习和祂联结在一起。）
5.如果我们不住在祂里面，祂说一定会发生什么？（我们会枯干凋谢。）
6.当我们住在耶稣里时，我们会看到哪些耶稣在我们生命中结的果实？（我们会看到圣灵的果子，看到顺从，看到祝福，等等。）
尽管如此，我们仍无法靠自己住在基督里。这引出了耶稣向我们展示如何生活的第三个也是最后一个实践方式。
3.依靠圣灵
读 约翰福音15：7-15
问题讨论：
1.圣灵是什么的圣灵？（真理/实际的圣灵。）
2.圣灵来做什么？（揭示人心，荣耀耶稣，帮助我们。）
3.根据这段经文，圣灵对我们有什么作用？（引领我们。）
4.我们该如何过“圣灵”引导的生活？（信靠它，不自私地生活，顺服神的话，等等。）
5.你觉得自己有没有“靠着圣灵生活”？为什么？（允许学生分享。）
请记住，耶稣为我们作了榜样。祂深爱着，并与天父联结在一起，还依靠圣灵的能力。在祂临死之前，祂教导门徒也要照着做。如果你是基督的跟随者，祂已经向你展示了该如何生活-彼此相爱，住在基督里，并依靠圣灵。
结束祷告(3分钟)
让我们祷告，我们能深切地爱，并能与天父联结在一起，还能依靠圣灵的能力。 （请几个学生为大家祷告。）

Gospel of John
Lesson 11: Jesus Teaches Us How To Live
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Goals
1. To provide students with an overview understanding of the Gospel of John
2. To expose students to how Jesus taught us to live
3. To inspire students to live as Jesus commanded
Topics
Body of Christ, Eternal Life, Following Jesus, Happiness
Scripture Memorization
John 16:33
OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)
GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes)
Have everyone stand in a circle and hold hands. Place a soft object (ball, pillow, etc.) in the center of the circle. The goal of the game is to get other people to touch the object by moving around and pulling them toward it, but you must not let go of the person on either side of you. Players are eliminated when they touch the object.
The game continues until only one person is left.
GETTING STARTED (5 minutes)
We’re getting close to the end of our study of the Gospel of John. Only two weeks are left! Today we’re going to talk about how just before His death, Jesus instructed us on how to live.
General Discussion:
• If you made some “how to live” rules, what would your top 3 rules be and why? (Allow students to share and debate.)
• What do you think makes a good list of rules for living? (They are good for everyone, they make communities better, etc.)
Jesus’ list may or may not match ours, but He unpacks it starting in John 15. Let’s turn there.
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
Assign one third of your group to read John 15.
Assign a second third of your group to read John 16.
Assign the final third of your group to read John 17.
Give your groups 5-10 minutes to read their assigned chapters. Tell them to pay particular attention to (and maybe even write down) instructions on living life according to Jesus that they read in their respective chapters.
After 5-10 minutes, bring the groups back together and ask each of the following questions to the groups about their designated chapter.
Discussion Questions:
1. Take a stab at summarizing your chapter. What did it say in general?
2. What are some of the things Jesus says in your chapter that provide instructions on how to live?
3. Are the things Jesus said commands, suggestions, or what?
4. Who does Jesus say we will have to help us according to your chapter?
Jesus talks at length in these chapters about love, faithfulness, unity, perseverance under persecution, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us. When you think of a Christian life, I don’t know what you think of, but Jesus really gives us an outline of how to live for Him.
Let’s explore how this might work in today’s world.
MAKING IT REAL (25 minutes)
1. Love One Another
Read John 15:12-17
Jesus shows us how we are to live by instructing us to love one another.
Discussion Questions:
1. How are we to love one another, per verse 12? (As Jesus loves us.)
2. How does Jesus love us? (By laying down His life for us.)
3. His command to love one another should look like what, then? (Sacrifice for each other, putting other’s needs first before our own, etc.)
Love is an action that requires a lot of purpose and stamina. It can drain us as we pour ourselves out into other people. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit enables us in this regard.
2. Stay Attached to Jesus
Read John 15:1-11
This is actually how these three chapters begin. This is actually the foundation for everything else when it comes to living like Jesus — abiding in Christ.
Discussion Questions:
1. Jesus identifies Himself as what? (A vine.)
2. What role does the Father play? (A vinedresser, gardener.)
3. What does Jesus say to us as a command? (We should remain attached to Him.)
4. How do you stay attached to Jesus in a practical way? (Be attached to His people, be attached to Him through spiritual disciplines.)
5. What does He promise will happen if we don’t remain and abide in Him? (We will wither.)
6. How do we see the fruit of Jesus in our lives manifest itself when we remain in Jesus? (We see the fruit of the Spirit, we see obedience, we see blessing, etc.)
Still, we cannot remain and abide in Jesus in our own power. That leads to a third and final practical way that Jesus shows us how to live.
3. Depend on the Holy Spirit
Read John 15:7-15
Discussion Questions:
1. The Spirit is a spirit of what? (Truth.)
2. What does the Spirit do? (Reveals the heart of mankind, glorifies Jesus, helps us.)
3. What does the Spirit do for us, per this passage? (Guides us.)
4. How do you think we live a life that is guided "by the Spirit"? (Depending on Him, not living selfishly, obeying God’s word, etc.)
5. Do you feel like you live “by the Spirt?” Why or why not? (Allow students to share.)
Remember that Jesus modeled these things for us. He loved deeply, remained connected to the Father, and depended upon the power of the Spirit. Before He died, He instructed His disciples to do the same. If you are a follower of Christ, He has shown you how to live — love one another, remain in Jesus, and depend on the Spirit.
CLOSING PRAYER (3 minutes)
Let’s pray we can love deeply, remain connected to the Father, and depend upon the power of the Spirit. (Ask a couple students to pray for your group.)
