In this week’s episode, Tony highlights the themes of light and life that run throughout John’s Gospel, showing how coming into the light and believing in Jesus is our entry into the Kingdom of Heaven here and now.
He reflects on several of Jesus’ encounters, illustrating how Jesus reveals God’s great love for us and reminds us of who we are—and how believing that truth brings freedom and life.
Tony then examines Jesus’ question to the paralyzed man: “Do you want to be healed?” He challenges us to consider why we sometimes stay in sin and darkness, and invites us to reflect honestly: if there is sin or darkness in our lives, do we truly want to be healed?
Digging Deeper Reflection Questions:
1. Do I really believe I am loved and accepted by God? If not, why not?
2. Am I allowing any sin and darkness to live inside me? Do I want to be healed?
3. Have I invited Jesus to explore the deep recesses of my heart to expose that sin? Am I willing to bring it to Jesus for freedom and life?
We hope this week’s readings, episode, and Digging Deeper reflection questions both challenge and encourage you as you continue to grow in faith.
