‘What are you looking for?’ These are Jesus’s first words in John’s Gospel, and he asks us the same question when we decide to follow him. We read John’s Gospel because it helps us get closer to Jesus. We’re like the first disciples, who answer his question with their own, ‘Master, where can we find you?’ Only near the end of John’s story do we learn the answer: Jesus lives in the hearts of all who love him.
Believing is Seeing guides readers to believe more deeply in Jesus of Nazareth as the human face of God, seen through the eyes of his beloved disciple. It beckons us to bring to his gospel our soul-searching questions. Do Jesus’s words stake a claim on my life? Does John’s gospel test me intellectually, spiritually, or morally? Does John’s portrait of Jesus make me see him a new way, pray differently, even live differently? Believing in Jesus, the Son of God, shapes how we perceive our own identity, the world around us, the nature of truth, and our relationship with God. To believe is to see with love’s eyes.
