Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does this chapter say about who the Word is, and what names and titles do people give Jesus by the end of it?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • John writes that to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. What does receiving Jesus mean to you?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • Jesus told the first disciples, 'Come and see.' What will you do this week to spend real time seeing who Jesus is for yourself?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Andrew found his brother Simon and said, 'We have found the Messiah.' Who will you invite to 'come and see' this week?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, you are the Word who was with God and who is God, and you became flesh and made your home among us. Open my eyes to see your glory as I walk through this whole book.
