A 19th century congregation decided to help keep its preacher grounded. They placed a note inside his pulpit where he could not miss it, quoting the Greeks, in the King James Version, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” They wanted him never to forget that his highest priority was helping them see their living Savior and Lord. It is a request that needs to be in front of every one of us whenever we are serving Christ’s mission in any respect. Whether we are preaching a sermon or hearing it, making a joyful noise on a praise team or as part of a congregation, participating in a youth meeting or sponsoring it, serving a meal or eating it, visiting a nursing home or receiving homebound communion from an elder, teaching a Sunday school class or attending it, we need to be reminded that the deepest need of those around us is to see Jesus. May people see Jesus through all of us!
