Jesus
What Do You Seek?
The Red-Letter Words of Jesus, Day Three
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?” John 1:35–38(a) (NKJV)
Bashful
I love Bashful from the movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Just like his name suggests, he’s painfully shy. When Snow White speaks to him, he never says a word. His cheeks turn red and he shuffles his feet. His hat always falls covering his blushing face. And yet, in the scene where the dwarfs go to work,
this timid little guy musters up enough courage to get back in line for a second kiss.
Intimidated
In today’s scriptures, I wonder if Andrew and John feel too shy to approach Jesus? After all, the previous day John the Baptist made some amazing proclamations about Him including, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Again here, he declares Him to be the Lamb of God. Something in what John the Baptist says burns in their hearts.
