“What are You Looking for?
Jesus
asks the two disciples, “What are you looking for?”
He
is asking us the same question today. In
fact, every day we need to reply to that question because the answer gives the
direction to our lives.
We
look for all kinds of things. We also
look for direction from all kinds of people.
We follow celebrities, athletes, writers, philosophers, political
leaders…. Most of us also have
followers, whether in our children, people who look up to us, or people who
follow us on social media, etc.
But
we know that only in following Jesus do we find life in its fullness, both in
this life and in eternal life. Thus, St.
Paul writes to the Corinthians, “God raised the Lord and will also raise us by
his power” (2nd reading).
It
is not what we should look for, but who.
Let
us strive to look for Jesus each day.
