February 15-21, 2026
As we reflect this month, we’ll spend intentional time in John chapter 1, slowing down to encounter not just what God has done, but who He is.
The Gospel of John was written with a unique purpose. Rather than focusing primarily on miracles or events, John consistently points us to God’s identity and character. Pay attention as you read to His eternal nature, His nearness, and His light. John’s account centers largely around Jerusalem, which is why you may notice stories or details that differ from the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), which highlight other regions and perspectives. John had a focus: revealing God’s heart. As you pray and reflect this month, allow yourself to move slowly. Let these verses shape not just your understanding of God, but your trust in Him. Let’s dive in.
This week's focus: The Word, the Light, the Beginning
This week's Bible reading: John 1:6-10
Day 1: How did John testify to Jesus? What was significant?
Day 2: How would all people come to believe through John? Think about the Scripture globally (big picture).
Day 3: Why do you think God used John as the frontrunner for his ministry? Think about ways God’s plans are different than our own.
Day 4: John was not the light but he brought light. What ways are you bringing light to those around you?
Day 5: Why didn’t the world recognize him? How was he set apart?
Challenge: This week, notice the aspect of God’s character that you observe from the passage. What’s one way you can model that character to someone in your family, friend circle, or a coworker in your life?
