ko ieškote? Jn 1, 35-39
“Kitą dieną tenai vėl stovėjo Jonas ir du jo mokiniai. Išvydęs ateinantį Jėzų, jis tarė: Štai Dievo Avinėlis! Išgirdę tuos žodžius, abu mokiniai nuėjo paskui Jėzų. O jis atsigręžė ir, pamatęs juos sekančius, paklausė: Ko ieškote? Jie atsakė: Rabi, kur gyveni? Jis tarė: Ateikite ir pamatysite.” (Jn 1, 35-39)
Abu Jono mokiniai – tie, kurie iš Jono Krikštytojo jau buvo girdėję apie ateisiantį Mesiją – nuėjo paskui Jėzų. Anuomet paskui jį sekė tik saujelė žmonių, o šiandien pasaulyje priskaičiuojamas milijardas, o gal ir daugiau, krikščionių, besivadinančių katalikais, pravoslavais, liuteronais, reformatais, baptistais, laisvaisiais krikščionimis … etc.
Tik ar visi krikščionys eina “paskui Jėzų”? Ar eiti paskui Jėzų yra t. p., kas būti krikštytu, “privestu” pirmosios Komunijos, konfirmuotu, susituokusiu bažnyčioje, laikytis iš senelių paveldėtų religinių tradicijų? Dar daugiau – ar eiti paskui Jėzų yra t.p., kas pasninkauti, švęsti sekmadienį, lankyti bažnyčią, o gal net ir tapti kunigu ar vienuoliu?
Atsigręžęs į (kol kas) Jono mokinius, Jėzus uždavė esminį klausimą: “Ko ieškote?” Šis klausimas skirtas ne tik jiems. Jis skirtas kiekvienam krikščioniui. Ko tu iš tikrųjų ieškai? Ne tik bažnyčioje (vargonų muzikos? dvasingos aplinkos? padorios publikos?). Ko ieškai gyvenime? Dar daugiau – ko ieškai Dangaus karalystėje?
“Jei kas nori eiti paskui mane, teišsižada pats savęs, tepasiima savo kryžių ir teseka manimi…” (Mt 16, 24). Ar iš tikrųjų pasaulyje yra milijardas krikščionių – žmonių, einančių paskui Jėzų?
