Faith in God is not like an on-off light switch. Faith is a relationship that, like any other important relationship, moves through different stages. For the first followers of Jesus, faith didn't begin with a belief about who God is. It began with a look inside themselves. The first words Jesus utters in the Gospel of John is not a declaration about who God is. Rather, it’s a question about what the disciples want (see John 1:38). Do you know what you want today? Do you know what you are seeking? The first stage of faith is responding to Jesus’ invitation to “Come and See” (John 1:39). It’s an invitation to explore who Jesus is and what he can do with our deepest desires.
