“Face to Face with Jesus
in the Gospel of John”
A Year of Faith focus on a personal encounter with Christ in the Scriptures
A Day Seminar at St Benedict’s Parish in Burwood
27th April, 2013
“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.” – Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caristas Est
In key texts of the Gospel of St John, individual persons come face to face with the Person of Jesus Christ. We will focus on these personal – and potentially life changing – encounters “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (Jn 20:31).
Passages covered in this course:
1. Jesus and Nicodemus (John 3:1-21)
2. Jesus and the Woman at the Well (John 4:1-42)
3. Jesus and the Man born Blind (John 9:1-41)
4. Jesus and Pontius Pilate (John 18:28-19:16)
5. Jesus and Mary Magdalene / Jesus and Thomas (John 20:11-31)
6. Jesus and Peter (John 21:1-25)
