                   Matthew 17.1-9                   
                   Jesus takes Peter, James and John up a mountain where they see a vision of Jesus’                                 heavenly glory, in the presence of Moses and Elijah, and hear a voice that confirms Jesus’                     identity as God’s Son.

              Matthew 4.1-11             
             As he prepares to begin his ministry, Jesus is tested. Where will he put his faith? What will               he trust? Where do his deepest loyalties lie?

              John 3.1-17             
             Jesus’ late-night conversation with Nicodemus challenges him, and others like him in the                 synagogue, to be courageous enough to bring their curiosity about Jesus into the open.                   They will find this challenging, but the disturbance it causes will be like being born over                   again.

              John 4.5-42             
​             While sitting beside a well in Samaria, Jesus’ conversation with a Samaritan woman                          draws her, and her community, into the new family of faith – those who know that Jesus                  is‘the Saviour of the world’.

           John 9.1-41           
           Jesus gives sight to a man born blind, who comes to ‘see’ him for who he truly is. But                     Jesus’ critics refuse to see as the man sees, and their attitudes reveal a more sinister kind             of blindness.

       John 11.1-45
      Jesus raises his dear friend Lazarus to life and restores the faith of Lazarus’ sisters                       Martha and Mary. But in Bethany, only two miles from Jerusalem, Jesus’ own life is                     increasingly at risk from the authorities there

         Matthew 21.1-11                     
​         Jesus enters Jerusalem as a Passover pilgrim for the last time, demonstrating                             how he brings in God’s kingdom and setting the stage for the showdown with                             those he sees as God’s real enemies.

                   Matthew 28.1-10                   
​                   Two women, disciples of Jesus, visit his tomb once the sabbath is over. They find the                           tomb empty, and experience both fear and joy. They are sent by an angel to tell the rest                     of the disciples that Jesus is raised.

               John 20.19-31               
​               The risen Jesus appears among his disciples when Thomas is absent. Jesus breathes
               on them and says, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’. A week later, Jesus appears again and                           speaks to Thomas directly. Thomas cries out, ‘My Lord and my God!’
