WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH

Todays Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and
following Jesus sounds so simple and casual, its easy to miss
the significant acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: Look, he says, there is the Lamb
of God. Johns faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that Johns
disciples immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to spread the
good news of their discovery: We have found the Messiah.
It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations,
the hopes of many ages of faithful people were being fulfilled
in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah,
foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly everyone
among the Jewish people was watching for the Messiah back
then; who in our own society watches for signs of the presCopyright J. S. Paluch Co.
ence of the Messiah today?
