This week, I noticed John 1:35-37 in a different light. Standing with two of his disciples (what a heady thing to have some of those!), John pointed out Jesus to them. And then--just like that-- they followed Jesus. No thank-you card for John, no plaque commemorating John's time spent with them, no nominations for Mentor of the Year... they just left.
And what about John as he watched them go? Did he stand, arms crossed, with narrowed eyes and the sliver of a scowl on his brow? No--his entire being was focused on testifying of his Savior, of being a vessel through which all men might believe. He had done what he was sent to do.
Would that have been my reaction?
