Worship This Week

This Week in Worship:

A Christ-Soaked Calling
Pastor Eric Preaching

John 1:29-42

 “Look! The Lamb of God!” John the Baptist's proclamation draws two disciples toward Jesus. But when they begin to follow, Jesus turns and asks them a question—the first words he speaks in John's Gospel: “What are you looking for?”

 Christ's question invites us to discern and articulate something significant about our lives, even our deepest desires. What are we looking for? Jesus doesn't demand right answers or theological precision. He simply says, “Come and see.”

 These words hold one of the most gracious invitations imaginable: to discern what we desire most deeply and to pursue it in the company of one who is patient with our uncertainty, our missteps, our wrong-headed striving. Jesus Christ is the beginning and end of all we want or need... but it's fine with him if we don't understand that yet. Come, learn what you want, he says. Come, figure it out. Come and see.

 What happens when encountering Christ becomes less about having all the answers and more about extending this same gracious invitation?

 Additional scripture texts are Isaiah 49:1-7 and 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.
