377

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"


When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?"


They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"


"Come," he replied, "and you will see."


So they went and saw where he was staying and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour. 


John 1:35-39


This is such a strange cryptic passage. It sounds like a conversation between two robots. WHAT DO YOU WANT...WHERE ARE YOU STAYING...COME AND YOU WILL SEE

Clearly, much more was going on. Something life changing in fact. These disciples of John were stepping into the wildest adventure of their lives. And Jesus knew it. I can imagine his lips spreading into a grin as the conversation progressed, as he said those most beautiful of words..."come"

Jesus wants to take us with him. I'm convinced his favorite words were follow me.

So don't let the stiltedness get in the way...come. see. stay. and be changed. amen.
