John's Gospel has been compared to peeling an onion. The more you peel away, the more layers are there. These last weeks of Lent, as we walk with Photine at the well (John 4), the blind man who is ostracized (John 9) and next Sunday with Lazarus (John 11), there are literally hundreds of angles by which we can approach these texts.
Perhaps our prayer is one of discernment, then, that we may truly see with eyes of faith.
Christ our God, give us eyes of faith to see what you see this week. In your holy name, Amen.
