Read John 18:1-8.
Then Jesus, knowing all that was to happen to him, came forward and asked them, "whom are you looking for?" John 18:4
I like how the writer takes this passage which leads to Jesus' death then juxtaposes it with Mary's grief at the tomb where Jesus asks her the same question "Whom are you looking for?" leading her to life.
Are we looking for the things that give life? Often the chaos and dysfunction in our lives keep us from looking for things that are positive and life-building. We are reminded that the question Jesus asks rests in the pursuit of a relationship with him. Relationships are in it for the long-haul with an eye to a life well-lived.
