Lent 4

John 3.14-21

Becoming the good news - Week 4 of 6

Six weeks in which we observe Jesus taking up the mission of the Old Testament writers. This will help us think about how we can enter the stories of Jesus and become good news ourselves. An article that provides an overview of the theme can be found here.

Light for the world

This week we are reminded that God loves us so much that he sent Jesus into the world to bring light to us all.

This week’s reading, John 3.14-21, provides an opportunity to:

  • wonder why we are drawn to the darkness and away from God (AAA)
  • reflect on why we always want more than we have (AAA & CYP)
  • remember that people can know God even if they don’t know God’s name (AAA)
  • consider the importance of light and dark. (CYP)

These resources were first published in Issue 58 March/April 2012.
