Easter 6

John 15.9-17

Context

As we enter further into John’s Gospel and approach the end of Eastertide, we leave narrative behind and find increasingly conceptual writing. Last week we heard about the vine; this week we hear about love and joy.

Common thread – Love one another (John 15.9-17, Psalm 98)

The ROOTS resources this week explore the love and joy spoken of by Jesus in John 15 and how this is seen in our lives.

An alternative thread for adults

All welcome, examines the early decision that the Church would be inclusive, a community for all.

These resources were first published in Issue 41 May/June 2009.
