John 12:21

John 12:21 says, The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.  we see that the Greeks who came to worship were no longer satisfied with just going to a place, but they wanted to see Jesus.  When we do go to a place, the church building, we need to be there to meet with and worship God.  Simply going to a place is not enough.  We need to know that we have been in the presence of God when we meet in His name.  They sought Phillip of Bethsaida of Galilee and told him that they would see Jesus.  When people of the world want to see Jesus today, we need to pray that they will seek one of His followers to show them the way.  That is our purpose in life today.  We are to lead others to Christ.  Everything else is of secondary importance.  Verse twenty-two adds, Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus   Philip first told Andrew, and then they told Jesus.  When we are unsure of an action on behalf of God, we should seek the advice of fellow believers.  We must remember that there was a death sentence pronounced against Jesus and many people were hunting Him for that purpose.  Also, Jesus had told the disciples He had come for the house of Israel, and these were Greeks.  There are those today who would come into the church for reasons other than to see Jesus.  This does not mean that we are to judge them because of who they are, but we need to attempt to make sure that they are really coming because they want to see and follow Jesus.  It is not enough to get numbers on the membership roll.  We need to lead people to Jesus, and if they come to us asking how to find Him, we need to point them to the cross.  We need fellowship with other believers to strengthen our faith so that we will know how to be effective witnesses.  Above all, we need to lead people to a relationship with Jesus and not just to a place of worship.  The Greeks were already at the place of worship, but they wanted to meet the One Who should have been worshipped.
