378

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 them. It was about the tenth hour. 

John 1:35-39


The word that first came to mind when I thought about Jesus in this passage was "aloof." Jesus doesn't appear to give these guys the time of day. 


Then, I noticed that Jesus spent the day with them. That's not aloof. That's relational. 


And when you put those two things together - aloof and relational - what do you get?


I'll tell you: cool. 


Not being one myself, but as an observer of cool people - I can tell you this is exactly what cool people are like. Jesus was cool.
