GO2020 | ENGAGE: January Week 2 - WORDSample

January 21

Read

John 1:1-14

Isaiah 53:4-12

Reflect

Jesus’s name is spoken so often, in so many contexts—in songs, in prayer, as a curse word, as a part of a joke. It’s possible to become so familiar with Jesus’s name that we forget who Jesus is. Even his earliest followers—the men who lived alongside him—had to be taught to understand his identity. Today’s two Scripture passages describe who Jesus really is. As you reread them, imagine that you’re meeting him for the first time. Listen to him tell you about himself.

Engage

Reread the Scripture passages. You’ve now read them two days in a row. Does anything stand out to you differently than it did yesterday? Consider the ENGAGE questions again. Don’t be afraid of the repetition. We learn more about God each time we read and reread his Word.

· What do they say about God?

· What do they say about us?

· Is there a promise to trust?

· Is there a command to obey?

· How will I apply these Scriptures to my life?

· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?

Memorize

Now read this week’s memory verse, John 17:3. Spend a few minutes working to memorize it.
