I know it appears I skipped several verses here but actually I used those verses earlier. See the Archives.
Again John the Baptist points out Jesus as the Lamb of God and two of his own disciples (students under his teaching) heard him and then followed Jesus as He was walking by. Jesus turned to them and asked, "What are you seeking?" When it appears to us that someone is turning to follow Jesus we too should ask the question. "What are you seeking?" What are you looking for?
These disciples wanted to know where Jesus was staying. Already they wanted to be with Him, spend time with Him, get to know Him. Hopefully this will be the response we get when we ask this question to those who appear to be seeking Jesus. Then we can respond as Jesus did, "Come and See." When Jesus invites to come and see there is a positive response as there was with these disciples. They came and saw and stayed with Him that day.
In fact they stayed with Him for all eternity. More about these two disciples next.
What about you- what are you seeking? I invite you to come and see Jesus. May He open the eyes of your heart so that you may know Him for all eternity.
to the praise of His glorious grace!
