In the Gospel of John, the apostle John, one of the twelve original followers of Jesus, invites readers to move beyond belief in Jesus into knowing him (John 17:3) and into life in him (John 20:31). We looked at the John’s introduction to his gospel witness (often called, “a prologue”) guided by two spiritual disciplines practiced by the Christian Church over many centuries: “Praying Scripture” and “Beholding the Lord.” We delighted that Jesus Christ, the eternal Word and Light of God, “became flesh and made his dwelling with humans,” perfectly revealing God’s glory, “full of grace and truth.” We accepted the invitation of John to receive Jesus such that we might live our lives now with the “right to be called children of God,” able to call God our heavenly Father.
