1 John 3:7-10 / John 1:35-42
From the moment of our existence, we have a need.
In our mother’s womb, we needed nourishment and care.
When we are born, we needed to be taken care of, as well as needing food and clothing.
Throughout our lives, there is no denying it but we are always in need.
Besides food, clothing and shelter, we have emotional needs as well as spiritual needs.
In the gospel, the two disciples were following John the Baptist as they seek direction and meaning in life.
But when John the Baptist saw Jesus, he pointed his two disciples to Jesus as the Lamb of God who will fulfill their needs.
John the Baptist was clear enough to know what his needs are, and in pointing others to Jesus, he has his needs fulfilled.
May we too, know that we need only Jesus and He will provide for all our other needs.
And may we also point others to Jesus, so that their needs will also be fulfilled.
