1 Samuel 3, 3...19
Psalm 39
1 Corinthians 6, 13...20
John 1, 35 - 42
To go further
Details
- John and Andrew are asking Jesus where he is staying. With a gaze, they are looking up.
- Jesus answers by showing his dwell : the heart of Man. To find Jesus, you need to go deep into the heart of human beings, very deep.
- There is a ladder, which shows how long the journey is. We have to go down one step at a time. Looking closer at the ladder, we can see that the further down we go, the narrower it gets. This represents the spiritual path which becomes more and more refined.
- You don't get to know the Man's heart at once. Trust is something that gets created over time.
- The heart-shaped hole was covered by a stone which has been rolled away. This is an image of the Resurrection. When Jesus is present in the heart of the Man, there is life in the darkness.
- Jesus tells the two apostles to get ready before going down: "Come and see". To be able to come, you need shoes, and to be able to see, you need glasses.
Questions
- To walk and to watch, isn't that the attitude of whomever is constantly searching for God?
- Before sending off his disciples, Jesus invites them to come, to get to know him. He invites them to come down.
- What about me ? How does this image talke to me today ?
- What does it reveal to me about God ? About others ? About myself ?
