Hearing Jesus
Not everything Jesus said was easily understood. In fact, it turns out that Jesus used this as a means of finding out who was spiritually open to his teachings and identity. It is no different today. We can easily miss the essential truths about Jesus if our hearts have hardned the capacity for our ears to hear.
Part 5: Foolish
The cross is the ultimate messge of the mission and purpose of Jesus. We either see it as Christ proclaimed it, or we ignore it to our peril. 1 Corinthians 1:18-23
Part 4: Blinded by the Light
Sometimes, even a miracle is not enough to open the hearts and minds of a sceptic. We can become so entrenched in our own confidence, that we miss what God is doing right in front of us. John 9
Part 3: Eternal Food
Even for the disciples, Jesus would have to explain in spiritual terms what they thought he meant in physical terms. John 4:27-42
Part 2: Religious Roadblocks
Sometimes, religion, which is meant to bring us closer to God, can unintentionally become a barrier to really knowing him? John 3:1-21
Part 1: What Did He Say?
The Temple is a source of pride for the Jewish people, a building that reflected theri relationship with God which took years to construct. But what is more important, the building or the God it was built to serve? John 2:13-22
