Following Jesus into the World
How Jesus Related to People
Zacchaeus: https://navigators.co.uk/blog/navresources/zacchaeus/ 1st-century Judaism was concerned with maintaining personal holiness, but this undermined the heart of Old Testament law: mercy. Biblical holiness is being merciful to sinful people. Jesus calls us into the world just as he was in the world. This talk is for anyone who wants to follow Jesus into our world.
Woman at the well: https://navigators.co.uk/blog/navresources/samaritan-woman/Â In His gracious dealings with the Samaritan woman, Jesus demonstrates His depth of love for us. Our calling is to go to the world, not just our own people. Jerram reveals the beauty of Jesusâ example of reaching people who are different. PDFÂ presentationÂ
Bible Scholar: https://app.box.com/s/g2mv0hnyiteynyxfs2t4n4wdy9l63b4g the man who asks how to inherit eternal life. Jesus does not tell him the whole Gospel. He tells him what he needs to know at that moment. That is, He tells him what it truly means to love your neighbor as yourself and how he is miserably failing to do that. That is the area where he is challenged so that he will return another day to hear the good news about Christ. He needs to hear the good news about what God's law truly means and then the impact that has on his life. You should declare the aspect of God's truth that is appropriate for where this person is in your conversations with them and challenge them there. There are many different aspects for the good news of the Gospel in addition to Christ's death and our call to repent and have faith in Him.
Rich Young Ruler: https://app.box.com/s/tyztk0iace16buny13tj4bpusxfc9f96 Jerram looks at the way Jesus interacted with the rich young ruler and the lawyer. He unpacks the worldviews of these devout men and the way Jesus subverted their questions to reveal the gospel to them. This talk is appropriate for anyone interacting with people who believe they are good enough without God. Â

Challenging the Heart and MindâPrinciple VII This book contains the call to share in the joy of the gospel with those who are local and distant â i.e. to those close to us / similar to us and to those that are far away / not like us. The breadth of this call, and the work required in this call can make us feel intimidated.We are finite, very limited in our knowledge, power, and love. But God sets us in particular places, in contexts of work, study, and play where we meet a limited number of people. He wants us to pray for them, for our relationships with them, for the impact of our lives on them, and for their salvation. He can handle the big picture; He wants us to concentrate on our small part of the vast landscape that He is painting.(p. 48)
Jerram Barrs reminds us of the impact humility can have on others:
âSo often as Christians we behave as if we have everything to give to the non-Christian and nothing to receive. We imagine that it would be demeaning for us to acknowledge any weakness or need. Christians are supposed to âhave it all together,â and we fear that letting unbelievers see that we donât, might bring discredit on us and on the gospel. This is folly, for the truth is that we are always weak and needy and the gospel is not served by pretending otherwise. To acknowledge, as Jesus does, our need of the kindness, gifts, wisdom, or advice an unbeliever can give us is encouraging and ennobling to those who might have been led to expect only scorn or condescension from us.â
Hereâs the bottom line. Itâs not enough to do good work, there has to be something attractive about our character. And especially, the ability to admit our failures and brokenness stands out in stark relief to the culture around us. People need to smell the sweet aroma of Jesusâ presence in our character, which comes most strongly through the humble character he creates in us.
Jerram Barrs is Professor of Christian Studies and Contemporary Culture at Covenant Theological Seminary, Missouri, as well as an author and speaker. He was a student of the late Francis A. Schaeffer and spent 18 years with LâAbri Fellowship in England, where he also served as a pastor in the International Presbyterian Church.

âThey found [Jesus] in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questionsâ (Luke 2:46). When heavenâs Answer met earth, he came with questions.

When heavenâs Answer met earth, he came with questions. The very first Gospel account of His words describes Him âasking them questionsâ. This isnât simply to do with His young age. This is His ancient way. Right from the beginning â right from âAdam, where are you?â â Godâs Wisdom has engaged in dialogue, not simply download. And so in the Gospels, Jesus puts 290 different questions to his hearers. Thatâs over three per chapter â which is a lot!
Be interested, not interesting
This challenges my pride. I kid myself that Iâm interesting. But Jesus calls me to be interested. Truth be told, thatâs a relief because, a) Iâm not very interesting, and b) there is little more boring than a person trying to be interesting. On the other hand, there are few things more nourishing than an interested conversation partner.
In future columns Iâll say more about the questions we can ask, but here let me share some general lines of inquiry â four ways to go a bit deeper than the regular chit-chat.
1. What gets you thinking?
This is about meaning. What makes you consider whether thereâs more to life than the daily grind? You might ask people: âHave you ever had a religious experience?â Itâs OK if you might not use such language ordinarily â thereâs a breed of evangelical that is suspicious of both âreligionâ and âexperienceâ! â but your friend will know what you mean. Whether itâs the beauty of nature, the shock of tragedy, the example of a changed life, the birth of a child, the death of a parent, many life events make us think. When your friend has opened up, feel free to share your own answer to that question. But it will come home so much more profoundly if your witness is in the context of shared experiences.
2. What gets you up in the morning?
This is about purpose. What do you live for? Weâve all got a common need for significance and joy. My own answer to that question (which I can volunteer once Iâve delved into their own thinking), is my bone-deep conviction that all of life is about knowing the God of love and passing it on. Nothing could give greater purpose. Asking, further, where such purposes come from and why such joys resonate with us will get you into some very fruitful areas.
3. What gets you down?
This is about frustrations, and not just everyday peeves. What is getting you down about life right now? Getting into your friendâs real answer may take a bit of probing (especially if they are male. It usually takes about 17 âHow are you⌠really?âs to get an honest answer from a bloke). But as you explore struggles, be ready to share about your frailty and fallenness. On frailty I can point to such things as a pandemic, intensifying the natural course of life. One in a thousand Brits died with Covid in 2020. But one in a hundred die of all causes every year. And one in one will die. Thatâs a confronting reality. But itâs not just my frailty that gets me down, itâs my fallenness. Hereâs a chance to name my selfishness and stupidity. I find that the best way to provoke repentance in others is to begin with confession about myself!
4. What gets you through?
This is about comfort and hope. Given our struggles in life, what are our coping mechanisms? Here, if the opportunity presents, Iâll finish this sentence: âI couldnât have gotten through this last year withoutâŚâ This is a chance to offer a testimony of Christâs sustaining grace, but it comes in the context of a deeper conversation.
Of course, none of these questions guarantee that youâll have a âGod conversationâ. But they do make for a good conversation. And in that context we pray for Godâs Answer to shine through.

30 alternatives to âWhat do you do?â
âWhat do you do?â This question has always rubbed me the wrong way, it doesnât always create the best environment to really get to know someone, and Geekwire explains a few reasons why:
Itâs understood as âWhat do you do for a living?â and ranks paycheck activities above all others in the get-to-know-you hierarchy.
It assumes permanence and stability when our economy and values pave choppier paths.
It pins your identity to a job instead of pinning a job to your bigger, evolving identity.
It loads the resume, an automatic output given time and time again.
The person may not have a job at the moment, which is awkward to explain in this context.
The person may not care about what they do for a living. But they have to tell you anyway.
One way to break out of the mold and have more authentic conversations might be to prime ourselves with lots of alternatives to The Question.
Here are quite a fewâsome are only minor deviations from âWhat do you do?â while others spin off in an entirely new direction.
The key, according to Chris Colin and Rob Baedeker, authors of What to Talk About: On a Plane, at a Cocktail Party, in a Tiny Elevator with Your Bossâs Boss, is to ask an open-ended question. Their advice?
âAim for questions that invite people to tell stories, rather than give bland, one-word answers.â
