Greetings beloved,
Following yesterdays commentary; two of John the Baptists disciples sought a dialogue with Jesus. They didn't want just a brief conversation but rather to fellowship with Him and a detailed interaction. And so, they asked Jesus, “where are You staying?” to which Jesus replied, “Come and see.” (John 1:38-39).
Jesus shows His interest in them by inviting them to where He was staying. Jesus took time to listen to them and most likely talked with them for hours, and the text further suggests that He led one of the two men, Andrew, to a new relationship with God.
When we encounter others who are seeking a right relationship with God, even those who lack a relationship with God, we should take time to meet with them, listen to them. A great way to evangelize others is to invite them into our homes. Remember Jesus' words, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32). Have you ever invited someone, a friend or a loved one into your home for the purpose of introducing them to Jesus?
Pray with me... Thank You Father that You are our Lord and Savior, help us to be Your witnesses in word and deed. For Your glory and in the name of Jesus Christ we pray. AMEN!
God's blessings to you all,
Fr. Ernest+
