John 1:1-18
We heard the words from the beginning of John's gospel at Christmas; but today, in these last days before the season of Lent and the journey to the cross begin, we are hearing them again.
Try simply reading these verses aloud slowly. Maybe get lost in the wonder of the images and poetry. Maybe reflect on one word that catches your attention.
Maybe consider what questions this text raises for you, for example, what does it mean to you that "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it"? Do you hear this statement differently now that the days are getting longer again as compared with when you heard it in the soft candlelight at Christmas?
