In the talent programme ‘The Voice’, the judges sit with their backs to the performers.  If they like what they hear and think they have potential, they turn their chair around to see them. Today, some Greeks have heard of Jesus, and now want to see him for themselves.

Read John 12:20-36

The Greeks ask to see Jesus; the crowd tells him that what he says is not in line with what they have heard.  
Job said: “I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.” (Job 42:5, NRSV)

Have you ever come up against a challenge to your faith?  How did you deal with that?  What did you learn from it?  Did it change your faith?  Did it help you to see Jesus more clearly?

“Open our eyes, Lord,
We want to see Jesus” – from the chorus by Robert Cull.

Can you make this your prayer?
Can you ask to see more than you have seen up to now, even if it challenges what you think you know?

May message from the Ministry Team

Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...
