What Do You Want?

What do you want?  

They had just heard a piece of the most revolutionary news that had ever been uttered.  Of course it was veiled in language that may seem obscure to you and me; "Behold the Lamb of God". But it so altered the focus of Andrew and his companion that they followed him. 

So, Jesus turns to them and asks, "What do you want". I can't help but think that they didn't have a clue of what to say until the words of "uh, where are you staying" broke the silence.   They went with him and spent the day.  

I don't know what they talked about but Andrew made it his first course of business to find his brother; you may have heard of him, Peter, and brought him to Jesus. 

Again, I don't know what they talked about or even if they realized what they were looking for but I know what they wanted.  The same thing I want, Jesus and all He is.  I want to be baptized in Him; saturated with Him, hearing with His ears His Father's voice, receiving that voice with His will, bringing that love to a universe that is starving due to the scandalous rumor that God had become Man in this one. That their fortunes were now forever bound with this Him.  

What do you want?
