What do you seek

What do you seek?

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.³⁸ And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?”³⁹ He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the ^[aa]tenth hour. John 1:38-39

A very interesting question, to which I guess, many have that same question today.  The two disciples, I say, Andrew and Philip, HEARD the words of the Lord and then inquired of Him.  Many times that is the way it will happen. God will speak to you through His word and the Holy Spirit will speak / whisper, “Check it out”.  Then there will be a desire to abide and stay with Him. To follow His steps and hear His words and then go and tell others of the one you have met.

And this is the way to God, for first you see Him and then you heard of Him and then you will want to follow Him.  The disciples saw Jesus, then they heard his words and then they followed him.

They were not quick to hear and then blow it off, they did not refuse nor reject it, they were moved by His words and by what was said in their bible / their scriptures of the day, what Moses and the prophets wrote, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote. John 1:45

This led them to believe and follow Jesus.  And He accepted them and allowed them to abide with Him. PTL!!  (For He did have plans for them later)

And this too, could be YOU, dear friend, “WHAT DO YOU SEEK??” or what are you looking for??  Perhaps you have seen and heard about Jesus and you want to inquire of Him. And you can by start reading the bible particularly St. John and pray. For if you turn unto God, He will turn unto you!!

May God bless you friend,
