Chronos • Light/Darkness • Jn 3:1-21 Story of Nicodemus • Time of Day • Jn 4:4-42 Story of Samaritan Woman • Day of Week • Sabbath Cures: Jn 5:1-18 Pool of Bethesda & Jn 9:1-40 Man Born Blind
Kairos • Structure of John’s Gospel • Prologue 1:1-18 • Book of Signs 1:19-12 • Book of Glory 13-20 • Epilogue 21-25 • Alternative Structure • Hour has not yet come 1-12 • Hour has come 12-19
Pastoral Implications • Chronos • Where is God in your daily life? • Do you make time sacred? • Do you honor the Sabbath? • Are you in the light or the darkness? • Kairos • Where is God breaking into life? • Do you allow these moments to define you?
