The Labor of LoveBefore the cross Jesus both spoke and showed his love by washing his disciples' feet, reminding us he wants us to come to him, dirt and all. Jesus isn't afraid of our dirt. As we obey his command to love one another as he loves us, how can we help others to know they also can come to him, dirt and all?
In John 9 rather than answering the disciple's question "why" this blindness, Jesus responds by showing them what he came to do about it, A theological conversation becomes a renewed life! In response, one who had been blind sees, and those who claim they already can see, willfully choose blindness to what's in front of them. How will we respond?
The Gospel of John is full of signs. But if you focus only on the signs, you may miss where they are pointing.
The Woman Jesus met at the well had been defined and dismissed by her community as one without worth. Jesus shocks her by rising above every one of those definitions, to reveal how he sees her; as one God loves, who he came to invite into a life changing relationship with God, by his grace. From that moment on, that's what defines her. What does Jesus see in you?
