We wish to see Jesus So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” John 12:21 “…we wish to see Jesus.” Everywhere he went, people wanted to see him. The gospel writers tell us that on occasions, Jesus couldn’t even enter a town because of the crowds who flocked around him. They wanted to see Jesus. A popular icebreaker question asks: “What famous person would you like to have dinner with?” Not surprisingly, Jesus is one of the top answers. People still want to see Jesus! That’s where you and I come in. We have the great opportunity to help make the introduction. That curiosity about why you follow Jesus just might be someone saying I wish to see Jesus. And the first place they might see him is in you. How might people see Jesus in you? We say things like: “you might be the only bible people ever read” or you might be the hands and feet of Jesus in your community.” I remember the first time I looked in the mirror and saw my father looking back at me…the resemblance was unmistakable. As we follow our Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to transform our lives, we become more and more like him every day. And as people look at us, my prayer is that they might the face of Jesus mirrored back to them! With you on the journey. Blessings, Matthew+ … always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you… 1Peter 3:15 |
