What
do you want from Jesus? Do you desire to go where He goes? Do you want to get
what He got? Do you want to know Him?
Two
disciples had begun their discovery of Jesus the Messiah. They had followed
John the Baptist but he had pointed them to Jesus. They asked the right
question; “Where are you staying?” in essence, they were requesting to be His
disciples. They wanted to learn His ways, to be one with His road. They were
already literally following Him. With no promise only a seed of faith they went
after Him.
Jesus
gives us choice. He answers us according to our desires. “What do you want?”
was a question Jesus often asked. He asked the blind man; “what do you want me
to do for you?” What do you think he wanted? He wants his sight. But with sight
comes responsibility, comes a new life.
God will give you what you want.
Seek the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Even those
outside Gods covenant are allowed their yearnings. “So God gave them over to
their lust” (rom1:26). If God gave you your requests, what would it be? Would
you be more like God or would your desire destroy you?
