Th View Point session that launches on Monday, January 11, 2010, will take us through the entire book of John in six weeks.
Week 1 sample: The book of John opens and is written with many layers of imagery and mystery. John 1:2-3, "He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."
How do you respond to the mystical, "That's deep! How did God do that?" Where are you in this continuum:
- I feel compelled to find exact explanations,
- I feel frustrated at the notion to 'accept it on faith' without question
- I feel comfortable accepting the unknown with questions but still pursuing continued understanding
- I feel compelled to blindly accept the story of the Bible without question.
What does this tell us about 'being Jesus' to someone or to "love one another as Christ has loved you"? What is the challenge of accepting people who are not broken, repenting, and crying out for salvation?
Do we get so caught up in pity or trying to save people or bringing them to Christ, that we end up treating them like they're different?
If your resolution in 2010 had anything to do with reading the Bible more often, you'll go through the entire book of John during the 6 week session. And, you'll meet some people, and hear a variety of perspectives on Jesus. Register here. It all starts this Monday, January 11, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
