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
We see something here that captivates me - God is personal. Jesus came to show us the father. And we see here one thing about him that should completely blow our minds. God likes to hang out. they spent the day with him. Not only the day, the next three years!
They accomplished nothing. They simply got to know one another.
How does that translate to you? Have you ever tried hanging out with God. What does that even look like? Spend some time thinking about that. Heck, maybe even try it out.
Maybe Jesus knew a lot about Young Life. Or vice versa. We went to a Young Life dessert on Sunday. They talked a lot about "hanging out." Eventually, it might accomplish a lot. And in Jesus case, it did -- turning the world upside down.
