Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent - LOOK AND SEE is written by Ed Arle
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life....
John 6:68
Do you remember that children's song "The Bear Went Over the Mountain"? The first verse goes, "The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the moutain, to see what he could see." The second verse continues, "The other side of the moutain, the other side of the moutain, the other side of the moutain was all that he could see." The song returns to verse one and starts over.
That bear kept going back and fourth over the mourntain looking for something that was never there. It's kind of like the way most people keep searching for the meaning of life.
Here's a riddle: Why is it that when you're looking for something, it's always in the last place you look? The answer: Because once you've found it, you stop looking.
That, I believe, is what happened in the lives of the disciples. Once they found Jesus, they knew they had found the key to eternal life. there was no need to look further.
Dear Lord Jesus, we have no need to look further. You are the Holy One of God. Amen.
