Jesus told Andrew and "Come and see," when Andrew inquired about him. John the Baptist said "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world," when he sees Jesus. Andrew told his brother Simon, whom Jesus called Cephas - Peter, "We have found the Messiah."
Will we recognize Jesus as we come across him on our journey? What will we find? See Sister Kym Harris' "This Sunday's Reflection." The Rev. Mark Ralls says that the way to truth, the truth about Jesus, and ourselves, is through personal encounters in "The other 'H" Word."
Finally, considering the difficulties Paul encountered with the church in Corinth, Daniel Clendenin discusses some of the faults and failures of the church in "A Loyal Member of a Dysfunctional Family - Why I Go to Church." Why do you go to church? Why do some quit going to church? How should we deal with the church's failures and faults?
Do people see Jesus in us - in our church?
