To be seen and known
Saturday, September 11, 2021
When Jesus calls the first disciples in John 1:35-51 (NAB), there is all this business of seeing. References to sight -- the words or some variation of the words "watched," "see" and "looking" -- are listed 12 times throughout these 16 verses. In one way of reading it, it is a story about the deepest desires of the human heart -- to be seen and known -- being fulfilled by the promised One who is finally here, ready to see each of the 12 tribes of Israel. And ready to see each of us, too.
