Greetings beloved,
After Christ's wilderness experience, Jesus returned to where John had baptized Him. The Bible says, in John chapter 1 verses 35-38 that, "Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” "
Jesus wanted to know what the two disciples were looking for. Were they God seekers looking for a spiritual leader, were they looking for religious rhetoric or debate. Maybe they wanted political discussion about the Romans?
You see friends, what we are seeking is a direct clue to what we value in our lives. some people are looking for political power with control of government and society. Others want health, wealth and financial security. Intellectuals pursue the satisfaction of knowledge and understanding, and some seek right relationships with each other and God. The Bible says, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). What are you seeking?
Pray with me... Heavenly Father, help us to seek You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love others as ourselves. In Jesus name. AMEN!
God's blessings to you all,
Fr. Ernest+
