John 12:20-26
Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor."
Although I was familiar with this passage, it wasn't until the other day that I connected the fact that this was Jesus' answer to the statement, "We want to see Jesus". What does it take to truly see Jesus?
- dying in order to bear fruit
- not clinging to life on this earth
- serving Jesus wherever He is and has called me to be
- following Jesus--all the way to the cross
May the Lord richly bless you as you seek to see Jesus!
