1. When we stubbornly refuse to believe, what happens to our spiritual senses, and why (vv. 37-41)?
Our hearts are hardened and our eyes our blinded, because we have seen the truth and still have chosen to reject it.
2. Jesus' last public message to his people is recorded in verses 44-50. What indications do you find that he is still reaching out in love and grace to those who have rejected him?
Jesus pleads with them to accept Him while He is still with them, because once they have the light they will no longer walk in darkness. He challenges them to accept Him becuase one day they will face a judge (God the Father) because of the rejection of His Son.
3. How can you apply the example of Jesus to people who reject you or your witness about Christ?
Simply continue to present the truth with passion and love. Remind them that they are not rejecting you, they are rejecting God, and that they will one day face Him in judgment.

1. Jesus refers to our spiritual enemy, Satan, as "the prince of this world" in John 12:31. Earlier Jesus called him a murderer and the father of lies (John 8:44). In what way has Jesus' death on the cross "driven out" Satan?
Jesus' death on the cross confirmed the plan of redemption, making Satan's lies obvious and his power useless. Because of Jesus Christ, there is no reason to live in bondage to our sin. Satan has no ability to steal a believer from God's hand. Finally, because of Jesus' death on the cross, Satan, death and hell itself will be thrown into the lake of fire forever.
2. What resources are available to you when you are under attack spiritually?
God's Word, His Holy Spirit, prayer, fasting, and the ability to unite with other believers.
