We continue our slow walk through Samaria this week and will discuss our union with God Almighty more. We previously discussed how sin is "missing the mark," and—said another way—"the mark" (or the bullseye) is union with God. 

Last time we were together [Yeah, I know, it's been a minute. Welcome to my life of being inconsistently consistent.], we stretched ourselves to read with curiosity, a Christ-centered justice, and the desire to courageously co-create beauty with Him. We focused less on "the answer" and more on considering perspectives and then aligning those perspectives with what we know about the character of God. We are practicing this because, too often in Christianity, we are told what to think instead of how to think. We rush to the conclusion and application and don't appreciate the journey. 

I've wrestled with this text. Not just these few verses but trying to keep the narrative together while still calling out the essence of John's viewpoint in small snippets so we can meditate on it.
