Happy Wednesday,
Stop. Go to the nearest window. Open your eyes. What do you see? What is changing? Do you see new life? Do you see signs of spring?
This Sunday we will hear a haunting request of the Greeks who are in Jerusalem, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus," This request requires us to stop, slow down, and look for Jesus.
In baptism we were marked by God. Just before the start of Lent we heard the story of the transfiguration. I love the transliteration offered in The Message, "“This is my Son, marked by my love. Listen to him.”
In order to listen, in order to see, we must slow down. As Lent draws to a close I invite you to slow down. Look and listen for Jesus. Do you see him? Can you hear him?
Blessings,
Pastor JJ
