For the week of March 8, 2026
“40 Days With Jesus” – Week 4

  • For Further Study:
    • John 3:1-21
    • Matthew 11:28-30
    • Matthew 22:34-40
    • John 13:31-35
    • Numbers 21:4-9
    • John 7:37-52
    • John 19:38-42
  • For Further Prayer:
    • Pray that God would bring you freedom from the heavy yoke of legalism and laws. Pray that your relationship with God would be fundamentally based on His love, and that His love would be the driving force for wanting to obey Him and love others.
    • Pray that God would grow your faith and trust in Him alone. Pray that you would not fall into the temptation of trying to earn or deserve your salvation, but you would simply “look up and trust” (like the Israelites did to the snake on the pole).
  • For Further Discussion/Reflection:
    • When you consider Nicodemus’ steps towards Jesus (John 3, John 7, John 19), can you relate to any of it in your own life? How has your journey towards Jesus gone? When did you take a step forwards? When did you take a step backwards? Where do you feel you are at with Jesus right now?
    • What does it mean for you to take the “yoke” of Jesus upon you (Matthew 11:28-30)? Can you give an example of how obeying Jesus made a practical difference in your life this past week?
    • When you think of the Old Testament commands (not just 10, but 613), do you really believe that Jesus replaced all of them with just one: “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34-35)? Is this truly all that is required of Christians? Why or why not?
    • Religion says: “We must do something!” But the Gospel says: “Jesus already did something!” If you were talking to someone who knew nothing about Christianity, how would you explain the difference between other religions and Christianity? What if you were talking to someone who grew up in a legalistic Christian context, how would your explanation change (or would it)?
  • “Now What?” Next Step:
    • Based on what we know from the Gospel of John (and also considering Christian tradition), Nicodemus seems to have a story (a “testimony”) of taking small steps towards Jesus until he had given his entire life for Jesus.
    • This week, consider your own story and your own journey with Jesus.
    • Write it down, thinking about where you started, the ups and downs, where you are today, and maybe even where you feel God leading you to in the future.
    • Then, get together with someone else and share your testimonies with one another!
