REFLECTION: WE WISH TO SEE JESUS
There is an intriguing scene in today’s gospel reading when some Greeks bring a request to the Apostle Philip which goes like this: ‘Sir, we would like to see Jesus.’ John continues: Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus. As both Andrew and Philip had Greek names, perhaps the request was made in Greek, and Philip reeded some persuasive support. Unfortunately we don’t know whether those Greeks did in fact have an audience with Jesus. Jesus seems to ignore them and takes their request as a sign of the arrival of “his hour”. He replies: ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” Read the rest—there’s a voice from heaven again!

Those of you who are relatively new at BBPC may not know about our support of Hellenic Ministries’ mission work in Greece. The Greeks received the gospel early on in St. Paul’s missionary journeys. The New Testament itself was written in Greek. Yet it is only in the last two decades that the bible in modern Greek has been delivered to households across the whole nation. Hellenic Ministries is following up with supporting church planting teams across Greece and its many islands, helping new believers to grow in Christian discipleship.

Why then did the request from Greeks to see Jesus trigger that declaration? The clue is in the verse just before the reading - John 12:29: So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!’ The good news is that Greece is sending people into the Middle East with the good news about Jesus. May people in Greece, Turkey, Afghanistan, and neighbouring countries see Jesus, and know his love.

Grace and peace.

Robin
