REFLECTIVE APPLICATIONAL QUESTIONS: JOHN 19:38—JOHN 21:25 

1. Like Joseph and Nicodemus, are there areas where I need to step forward in bold obedience, regardless of the cost? 
   
   
2. How has the reality of the resurrection personally changed the way I view my life, struggles, or identity? 
   
   
3. Have I personally declared, like Thomas, “My Lord and my God”? If so, how does that shape my daily life, choices, and purpose? 
   
   
4. When I’ve failed Jesus, do I tend to run toward him or away from him—and how is he inviting me to respond today? 
   
   
5. What failure or regret do I need to bring to Jesus today so he can restore me with his grace?
