Father Broom preaches on the Gospel of John 1:35-42.
St. John the Baptist is forming the soon to be Apostles. They are prepared by him to recognize Jesus and as soon as he points Him out, they follow Jesus…. come and see, Jesus says. St. John the Evangelist notes the exact hour of meeting Jesus. There is an enthusiasm in these new followers. They immediately bring others to Jesus. They have found a great treasure – the Messiah – and they spread the word with fervor.
Jesus calls… they say “YES” and they are filled with joy. They leave everything to follow Jesus. Nothing holds them back. What is holding us back from accepting His call… what are we unwilling to let go of? Peter dropped his nets and followed and was filled with joy.
Let’s focus on Jesus…see where He lives, see how He lives, walk with Him
on the path of eternal joy.
