On the second Sunday after Epiphany, Rev. Cari preached on John 1:29-42, one of two “call of the disciples” texts we’ll hear this season. (The next one is from Matthew’s gospel, involves fishing, and we’ll hear it next Sunday.)

Jesus’ invitation to “Come and see” prompted a sermon that ranged from Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s book Crow Planet to Fr. Richard Rohr’s explanation of the “three eyes” from medieval days. Seeing is more than looking. We humans can look and look – and still not see.

Jesus’ invitation to “Come and see” is still for us, in a time when we value ease and speed, and settle for shortsightedness.
