  1. Have you ever realized you were more in love with what Jesus gives than with Jesus himself?
  2. What are some “Lego tables” or “train tables” in your own life—good things that might be distracting from your relationship with Jesus? If Jesus took those things away, would your love for him remain?
  3. What is your “because” for loving Jesus? Is it solid enough to carry you through suffering and unanswered prayers?
  4. How does the idea that “Jesus is God—and that’s enough” challenge your current understanding of faith?
  5. If someone asked you why you follow Jesus, what would your honest answer be today?
