Day 6 of 47 going through John's gospel - more info at https://www.severnvineyard.org/time-space-jesusWhat could happen if you take time and make space with Jesus today? This ten-minute podcast is part reading, part music, and part silence, all designed to help you create a space to picture and feel the scene with Jesus in it. You can use this space in lots of ways, including meditation, prayer, re-reading the passage or thinking about what it means for you today.Today's reflection: From your perspective, what difference does it make that God gives from heaven?---After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptised. John also was baptising in Enon near Salim because there was much water there. People came and were baptised; for John had not yet been thrown into prison. A dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew about purification. They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan – the one you have testified about - look, he is baptising, and everyone is coming to him.”John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. You yourselves witnessed that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So my joy is made full. He must increase, but I must decrease.“The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies about what he has seen and heard; and yet no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony has signed up to this, that God is true. For the one God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without limits. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life – instead, the wrath of God waits over him.”
