What do you say about yourself?

John 1.6-8,19-28

Watching and waiting: Week 3 of 5

A time in which we are encouraged to stay alert to God’s purposes in our lives.

What do you say about yourself?

There is confusion about John the Baptist’s identity – is he the Christ or one of the prophets? John explains that he is the one who is to prepare the way for the Lord. 

This week’s reading, John 1.6-8,19-28, provides an opportunity to: 

  • find our voice, the authentic reflection of our being (AAA & CYP)
  • consider the value of questions. (AAA & CYP)
  • listen to the cries from the wilderness (AAA & CYP)
