John helps us realize that we not only have to meet Jesus, but we need to know him. Its natural to ask questions about people when we meet them. The disciples and apostles do just this in the gospels – they ask questions. Where are you from? Who are you? What are you doing? To meet him and to know him are linked. As people who have meet this man Jesus we want to grow in knowledge of him. We want to know who he is (God), what he did (his life, death, and resurrection), how he continues to act today (the Church), and what our response (prayer, love, and following him). So here’s the challenge – set aside time this week to read one of the Gospels. And ask questions: in the silence ask Jesus to teach you to know who he is so you can love him more and see reality as it really is.
