Sir, we would see Jesus. - John 12:21
Looking For JesusOne day some Greeks came to Philip saying, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Andif you listen - that's what people around you are still saying today. Yousay, "Tell them to go to church and they'll see Jesus." Maybe, maybe not.Get close to some people who fill a church pew every Sunday and you justmight see the devil at work. One of America's finest ministers wassitting on a plane one day reading his Bible. The lady in the next seatturned to him and asked, "Are you a preacher?" He said, "Yes, Ma'am."Then she asked, "Do you believe in a real literal devil?" With a chucklehe replied, "Lady, have you ever been to an annual church businessmeeting?" You may smile, but if you've been in church a while you knowhe's telling the truth.Board member, people are looking for more than just a good budget, theywant to see Jesus - in you. Choir member, you may sing like an angel andbring the house down, but when your song ends people want to see Jesus -in you. Pastor, you may be a skilled expositor and a gifted orator, butwhen the sermon's over people want to see Jesus - in you. Sir, lady, whenyou get through telling the folks at work what you stand for, they wantto see Jesus - in you. You don't have to defend Him, just display Himthrough your attitudes and actions each day. Jesus said, "If I be liftedup...[I] will draw all men unto Me" (Jn 12:32). We do the lifting; Jesusdoes the drawing - that's how it works!
