During the great majority of chapter 9 of John’s Gospel, Jesus is offstage. He shows up at the beginning and at the end, and the rest of the action is the other characters in the story trying to understand what he has done, figure out who he is, and decide what it all means. This is our life! We come from God and we go to God, and in between we turn to each other and the world around us to try and figure out w: During this season of Jesus’ identity being made known to the world, we gather this day to confess that we are still looking for a Messiah that will angrily vanquish our enemies instead of a Messiah who calls us to love one another. After being raised from the dead, Jesus appeared to his followers, but one of them, Thomas, was not with them. Later, with Thomas in the room with the others, Jesus again appeared. He patiently accepted Thomas’s demand to see the nail holes in his hand and the spear wound in his side, and it was only after that that Jesus said, “Do not doubt but believe.” Long before that gracious acquiescence, Jesus first asked his disciples to follow him by saying simply, “Come and see.” No demands. No pyrotechnics. Just an invitation to watch and listen as they lived with him, walked with him, ate with him. That same invitation is extended to us during this Epiphany Season: “Come and See.” Ruth Sorenson-Prokosch Matthew 7:24-29, Matthew 7:1-14 Corina Forcey Matthew 13:24-43Steve Sylvester - February 15, 2026
