We Wish to See Jesus

In John 12:20-26, there is an event that I love to revisit over and over again. It is the time of the Passover (John 12:1) and Jerusalem is filling up with visitors from all over the known world. Jews and Jewish proselytes (converts) from every part of the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor gather to celebrate the covenant between God and His people. Some Greeks who were there to celebrate come looking for Jesus. When they find Philip, a disciple of Jesus, they make a bold request. “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” That is why we are reading together this year. That is why we are embedding the Bible on our hearts and in our lives. Because we wish to see Jesus. When the Greeks made the request, Jesus was waiting. Every time we open the pages of the Bible and enter the story of Jesus, He is waiting for us. Waiting to work within us to make us a reflection of His nature and character.
