In the talent programme ‘The Voice’, the judges sit with their backs to the performers. If they like what they hear and think they have potential, they turn their chair around to see them. Today, some Greeks have heard of Jesus, and now want to see him for themselves.
Read John 12:20-36
The Greeks ask to see Jesus; the crowd tells him that what he says is not in line with what they have heard.
Job said: “I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.” (Job 42:5, NRSV)
Have you ever come up against a challenge to your faith? How did you deal with that? What did you learn from it? Did it change your faith? Did it help you to see Jesus more clearly?
“Open our eyes, Lord,
We want to see Jesus” – from the chorus by Robert Cull.
Can you make this your prayer?
Can you ask to see more than you have seen up to now, even if it challenges what you think you know?
