First Presbyterian Church Of Baton Rouge

Sir, we wish to see Jesus. That’s a lovely thing to say. But questionshave to be asked in reply. Do you wish to see Jesus as a tourist or a disciple?Do you want to see Jesus as a detached observer, or will you submit yourlife to him? Do you demand that you stay independent and solitary, alwaysin control, or will you risk dying with him? Will you let your ego be buriedin order that you might rise in a new life of love and giving and worship?Knowing the path Jesus had to follow, knowing the path he calls you tofollow if you would be joined to him, can you still make the statement theGreeks made? Is it the desire of your heart to say, with all your heart, “Yes,we wish to see Jesus.”
