AND ABODE WITH HIM THAT DAY

Scripture: John 1:37-39 “And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.  Then Jesus turned, and say them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?  They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?  He saith unto them, Come and see.  They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.”

    What a thought jumped out at me in this Scripture today! Here are two disciples that are following Jesus.  Jesus questions them about what they are seeking and they ask Jesus where He lives!  Jesus then tells them to come and see and they came and saw where He dwelt.  The next part of this verse is where the thought is for today, “and abode with him that day!”    
    After following Jesus to where He was staying, they abode with him that day. That struck me as I read it as if I had never read it before.  I began to think of the possibilities that were available to those two disciples that day. The Bible does not say what they did, but you can be sure that it was a day that these disciples would never forget. They spent the day with Jesus! What a difference it would make in our lives, I’m sure, if we were to spend the day with Him!  
    I wonder what they talked about!  I’m sure they didn’t just sit and look at each other without ever speaking. What questions did they ask Him? What words did He say to them? What kind of fellowship did these three experience that day?  Can you imagine what it must have been like to go and spend the day with Jesus? 
    I’m not sure that, if we had the opportunity, very many would accept that privilege.  They were invited down to where He dwelt.  He wanted them there.  He talked to these men as they sat at His feet and they hung on every word and hid them in their hearts.  They probably learned more that one day than they would in the whole sum of the rest of their ministry.
    How is your fellowship with the Lord Jesus today? Are you walking in such a way as to please Him?
