I encourage you to read the entire book of John, so you are not limited to just reading the passages above. Also note that days 6 and 7 are linked because the answers can be found in Matthew as well. Journal what you discover, don't just focus on answering questions. Share with others. I will be back next week with the next 7 lessons. A major part of this challenge is doing this each day for 40 days. I know you will never be the same!
