Andrew and John were neighbor boys
who teamed up tending a long seining net in the Sea of Galilee. In slack season
their fathers allowed the boys to travel ninety miles south to where John the
Baptist was baptizing people in the Jordan. They served as ushers where the line
of people was winding out to where John was submerging one person at a time.
Young John and Andrew were assisting the old who were not sure of themselves
wading out.
Then, one day the Baptist called
out, “Look, there he is, God’s chosen Lamb.”
Jerking their heads around, the
boys caught sight of Jesus walking past on the shore, and they dropped what
they were doing to quickly lift their knees through the water to the shore. But
then, they didn’t know what to do. Holding back, they were following at a distance,
when Jesus turned, and asked,
“What are you looking for?”
“Rabbi, where are you staying?
“Come and see.”
They went and stayed with him that
night.
There were two parts of that which
you could come back to every day. First, to keep your priorities right, you
should be able to give a solid answer to the question “What are you looking
for?”
