Description

Day 23 of 47 going through John's gospel - more info at https://www.severnvineyard.org/time-space-jesusWhat could happen if you take time and make space with Jesus today? This ten-minute podcast is part reading, part music, and part silence, all designed to help you create a space to picture and feel the scene with Jesus in it. You can use this space in lots of ways, including meditation, prayer, re-reading the passage or thinking about what it means for you today.Today's reflection: When someone asks why you believe in God, it might be hard to answer in depth, but what can you say you do know, from what you have experienced?---So the Pharisees called the man who had been blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man Jesus is a sinner.”He answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that I was blind, but now I see.”They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become his disciples as well, do you?”They railed at him, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from; even so, he opened my eyes. We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to them. Since the world began it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”They answered him, “You were born in sin completely, and you are lecturing us?” Then they threw him out.Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, then he found him and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”He answered, “Who is he, sir, so I might believe in him?”Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and he is speaking with you now.”He said, “Lord, I believe!” and worshiped him.Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”The Pharisees who were there with him heard this, and said to him, “We are not blind, are we?”Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see,’ your sin and guilt remain.”

Lots of people love him. So many people admire and respect him. Some worship him. He’s been called a teacher, an inspiration, even a saviour. But who is Jesus? How can we know?

These audio presentations of the gospel stories with original music by Bern Leckie are here to help you engage in your own way.
