We are already familiar with John 3. Read it again if you wish – in The Message for something fresh.
Acknowledge God alongside as you pray with this artwork….
Now focus on the drawing in front of you. Let it engage you – affect you.
What inner images might it evoke? What memory comes up? Do you like the sketch?
Give it a name which is a feeling word (anger, joy, peace, hurt..)
Feel invited to speak to the Holy One about how the sketch affects you.
As you stay with the art, with the story in mind, imagine what might have happened before this? What is happening? What is going to happen?
Position yourself somewhere in the sketch. What happens as you join in?
Which words from the biblical account do you recall? What do you want to ask Jesus? Let a dialogue flow as you sit together. Stay with the sketch, its characters, its feelings, its message as long as you wish.
As you disengage from the artwork, return to the present, take some deep breaths – and relax.
