The moment you were aware of Jesus
John 1:38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).
There are so many life changing texts in the bible as this but are often over looked. My attention is drawn to a question and invitation by Jesus and then a very precise moment they were aware Jesus was Messiah. First, these guys start to follow Jesus, Im sure skeptical at first, and Jesus turns to them. WHAT DO YOU SEEK? This is what the Spirit leads us to do with Jesus, follow Him. Where did Jesus ever ask them to follow yet? He will much later, but conditions of their hearts were matured by then. Seco d, Jesus invites them to COME AND SEE. You must respond to His invite. What will you experience? Don't know, but it will be an amazing journey. You must come and see however.
Third, they recorded this at the 10th hour. Some have tried to point out a specific hour of the day, but that is not the point at all. The key here is whenever you have an interaction with God, you will know about it. It makes a lasting impression upon you. Every major event since I have been alive I can recall where I was and what I was doing. How much more meeting God? My Peter moment was when I was driving home and the Lord showed me a vision of myself spiritually as a shaky shack upon a solid foundation. When I arrived home, I began to read from Romans and stopped in 1 Corinthians 3. That's were the Spirit confirmed the vision I had on my drive home. This interaction propelled my course with the Lord to great heights. I have been coming and seeing every since.
