Day 1 – Mary’s Costly Worship (John 12:1–8)

🔹 Question: What does Mary’s act of anointing Jesus’ feet reveal about the nature of true devotion? How does my own worship reflect or fall short of such sacrificial love?

Day 2 – The Plot Against Lazarus (John 12:9–11)

🔹 Question: Lazarus became a living testimony that threatened the status quo. In what ways does my life bear witness to Jesus, and does it ever provoke resistance or discomfort in others?

Day 3 – The Triumphal Entry (John 12:12–19)

🔹 Question: Jesus entered Jerusalem as a humble King. How do I respond to His kind of kingship—one marked by humility, not domination? Do I sometimes expect a different kind of Savior?

Day 4 – The Greeks Seek Jesus (John 12:20–26)

🔹 Question: Jesus says that unless a grain of wheat dies, it remains alone. What in my life needs to “die” in order for me to bear the kind of fruit God desires?

Day 5 – Jesus Speaks of His Death (John 12:27–36)

🔹 Question: Jesus was troubled, yet He remained committed to glorifying the Father. When I face fear or uncertainty, do I prioritize comfort or God’s glory?

Day 6 – The Crowd’s Unbelief (John 12:37–43)

🔹 Question: Some believed in Jesus but feared human rejection more than they feared God. What holds me back from full obedience—approval from others, fear, pride?

Day 7 – Jesus’ Final Public Appeal (John 12:44–50)

🔹 Question: Jesus came as light to a dark world. Where do I still walk in darkness, and how can I more fully live in the light of His truth?
