Where Was God on 9/11? Pastor Josh Crockett (John 11:23-25)
1. What did the Holy Spirit teach you from this passage?
2. What are some tragedies where people ask, “Where is God”?
3. What times in your own life have you wondered (like Mary and Martha), “Where were you, Lord, when I was suffering?”
4. Why is it important to remember the truth that no matter how bad your situation gets or how great your tragedy Jesus can bring resurrection and life?
5. If you’re going to be a Christ-like counselor, why should you learn when to speak truth (like Jesus did to Martha) and when to cry with someone (like Jesus did with Mary)?
6. Jesus bellows with anger as He comes to the tomb. Why is it sometimes okay to be angry?
7. But where should our anger be directed?
8. How did giving life to Lazarus mean Jesus’ death (see vv. 46-48)?
9. How does remembering Jesus took your place answer the question, “Where is God in my suffering”?
