John 1:1–18; John 4:1–26
Read the passage slowly. Notice what draws your attention before moving to the reflection.
Read the Bible at BiblicConsider together
John introduces Jesus as the Word who enters human life. The Gospel then brings us into conversations with people whose questions and needs are different. Jesus is attentive to the person before Him. Reading John invites us to look beyond familiar religious phrases and ask what it means to receive His life and love.
Questions for reflection
- What does the image of light help you notice?
- How does Jesus attend to someone others might overlook?
- Where do you feel invited to ask a more honest question?
A practice for the week
Read one conversation in John twice. First notice Jesus’ words; then notice the person’s response. Write a short reflection in your own words.
A simple prayer
Jesus, help me listen with an open heart. Give me patience for what I do not yet understand, and courage to live out what I receive. Amen.
