V4 Jesus asks, “whom do you seek?” The world is seeking something. We can see that all around us in the society that we live in. But what they really need to be seeking is Jesus. I know it is old fashioned, but it is really still the truth.
BTW… Christians need to be seeking Jesus as well. A lot of Christians seek all kind of different things and miss out on the most important element. Seeking JESUS!!!
After Jesus tells them that He is the guy they are looking for, the fall to the ground.
V6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
Now falling down before Jesus is not a bad thing. In fact it is a good place to be.
V7 He asks them the same question. Therefore He again asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."
And then in verse 8, He gives us another key to seeking Jesus.
V8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
That is the key if you are seeking Jesus then you have to let “these” go their way.
Whatever “these” are to you. Are they people, situations, habits, attitudes, distractions?
They must be let go of so that you can seek JESUS.
