SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
JOHN 6:51-58
JOHN 6:51-58
In the Gospel of John, the author frequently presents people as misunderstanding what Jesus says. Jesus then uses the mistake to lead his hearers to a deeper understanding of his teaching. When have you found that clarification of a misunderstanding helped you to greater wisdom or deeper faith?
Recall some treasured gifts that you have received. Then think of people who gave something of themselves. Is it not true that such a gift outweighs any material present? When have you given this gift? To whom have you given this gift?
In this Gospel, faith is not a concept but a relationship. Faith leads us to believe in Jesus and to trust him who gave his life for us. As look back on the development of your faith, what has helped to increase your trust in Jesus so that you believe that you are never on your own no matter what difficulties arise in your life?
Jesus promises that those who come to him will have life. In what ways have you found that believing in God’s love, and believing that Jesus came to tell us about that love has been life-giving for you?
