Questions for reflection on John 1:1-18
- Reflect on the words of Pope Benedict XVI (J. Ratzinger), "This God shows himself to us; he looks out from eternity into time and puts himself into relationship with us. We cannot define him in whatever way we like. He has 'defined' himself and stands now before us as our Lord, over us and in our midst.”
- “….though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.” (John 1:10) Why do people not recognize him?
Rev. Chris Roth posts the text of the sermons on his blog.
