What does love look like really? Here in John 13 we get a portrait of love, and in that we see a portrait of God. If Jesus shows us what God is really like, what does this tell us about the nature of love, and the character of God?

Most of us have a relationship with Karma we've never fully examined. What goes around comes around.... you reap what you sow... the universe keeps score? Somewhere underneath it all, even for those of us who would never use the "K" word, we believe suffering needs someone to blame, and blessings need to be earned. In John 9, Jesus walks up to a man who has been born blind and rejects the old framework of "good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people". This week we trace the karma system through this passage, and ask what it looks like when Jesus tears up the ledger entirely.
