In this week's edition of "There's More in the Gospel than Meets the Eye," Jill Bevilacqua
and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the Fourth Sunday of
Lent. Listen: Gospel Jn
3:14-21
Jesus said to Nicodemus: "Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes
in him may have eternal life."
For God so loved the world that he gave his
only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have
eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but
that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be
condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because
he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that
the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because
their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and
does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But
whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen
as done in God.
