What Do You Want?
John 1:32-39 NIV
“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 they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.”
Jesus asks us the question, “What do we want?”
Many times we know what we don’t want but we are unsure of what we do want. Too often we run after the wrongs things and find ourselves not fulfilled- still empty. The disciples recognized Jesus as the teacher(Rabbi) and followed him. After spending time with him they knew him as Messiah (the deliverer).
When we can answer that we want Jesus, everything else falls into place.
We learn more and more of him as our teacher through Holy Spirit, our deliverer who brings us out of traumatic situations. We seek him first and all these things are added. The key here is to want him. Spend time just basking in his presence of peace as you hear from him. enough for now.
