A study in John 3:1–21 and John 4:1–42

If you opened your Bible to follow along this week, you may have felt a small wave of panic: 63 verses in one sitting. That’s a big swing for a Sunday morning. But John’s Gospel sometimes demands it. John is telling a story, and every so often he gives us two stories, separated by a bit of material in between, that are actually meant to be read together. Their themes and connections are too good to pass up. This week we have exactly that: two of the most famous encounters in all the Gospels, laid side by side.

Watched: Young Washington 🍿

This was an enjoyable film. It is definitely a re-telling of the founding American myth. The feel was very much to remind you that Washington was a man of integrity and honor.

Finished reading: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson 📚

A fun fish-out-of-water coming of age story. It felt like Red Rising meets Top Gun. I am looking forward to book two!

The Zeal that Consumes

John 2:13–25

Here’s the thing everyone notices the first time they read this story carefully: it’s in the wrong place. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus clears the temple courts near the end of his ministry — it’s the flashpoint that gets him killed. In John, it’s right here at the beginning, chapter two, before almost anything else has happened.

So which is it? Did it happen once, twice? Did somebody get the timeline wrong?
