Do You See What I See? When Knowing Scripture Isn’t the Same as Trusting Jesus | John 5:39–47 Bible Study [S4 E19]

Hey Sis 💛

In today’s Circle Time for the Soul, we sit with one of the most sobering moments in the Gospel of John.

As Jesus closes His conversation with the religious leaders in John 5:39–47, He offers a heart-check that still speaks powerfully today. These leaders knew Scripture inside and out — yet they missed Jesus standing right in front of them.

This Bible study invites us to reflect on a hard but loving truth: 👉 Knowing Scripture is not the same as trusting Jesus.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why being informed doesn’t always lead to obedience • The difference between unbelief and unwillingness • How easily we can seek proof instead of relationship • A devotional reflection titled Do You See What I See? • A journal prompt to help you respond honestly to God

If you’ve been feeling spiritually tired, inconsistent, or worn down by the pressure to “get it right,” this episode is for you. You’re not broken — and you were never meant to walk this journey alone.
