Heal My Child - Jeremy Duncan

John 4
***
Jesus endlessly fascinates. There is not a single moment, word, or action in his life that is not pregnant with something more. 

There is a qualitative difference that is unmistakable about Jesus, though. John puts in simply, "In him was life and that life was the light of all people." (John 1:4) As John writes about Jesus, he knows that he is touching the infinite. He charmingly says that the world was too small to record what could be said about him. (John 21:25)

So, what to do? How to tell a story too big for pages? Well, John chooses for us seven representative moments, seven real and tangible, physical signs of how the eternal comes into our material world through Jesus. Water and wine, hunger and bread, blindness and sight, dead and alive, we learn that the life of Jesus is not removed from where we are, but deeply present if we can see. 

As we begin the movement toward Easter, we follow seven revealing moments in the life of Jesus in the real physicality of our human selves; John will show us who Jesus is: God's presence with us.
