March 1
Scripture of the day: "The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, 'What do you seek?' They said to Him, 'Rabbi ... where are You staying?' He said to them, 'Come, and you will see.' So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour." John 1:37-39
Thought of the day: John the Baptist saw Jesus ... and said to two of his disciples, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" John 1:36. They left John and began to walk behind Jesus. He turned and saw them. His words to the two men could mean so much. Jesus asked, "What do you seek?" Responding with a question, they expressed their desire to spend some time with Him. They asked, "Rabbi ... where are you staying?" They sought an invitation. And He invited them, "Come, and you will see."
Challenge of the day: There is a difference between walking behind Jesus as a believer and following Him as a disciple. Which are you doing? What would you answer if Jesus turned and asked you, "What do you seek?" Would you answer with the question, "Jesus, where will You be today?" His invitation is open to you, "Come, and you will see." Will you follow Him today? Will you go where He goes?
