An Encounter With Jesus
“And they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto Him…where dwellest Thou?”
(John 1:37-38).
John the Baptist had just pointed his disciples to the Lord Jesus. Two of these men, when they saw the Lord, had their interest awakened and desired to investigate the truth of John’s report — so they turned to follow Jesus. This action did not escape the notice of the Lord, and turning to them, He asked the question, “What seek ye?” There were a number of answers they could have given, but above all, they desired to dwell where He dwelt. In other words, their hearts were so attracted to Himself that they wanted nothing less than to be in His presence and experience more of His ways, words, and company. Theywere then rewarded by His invitation, “Come and see. They came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: for it was about the tenth hour” (John 1:39). An encounter with the Lord can be just as possible and meaningful today as it was when He was here on earth. Seek that encounter today and you will not be disappointed.
