"Sir, we would see Jesus." These words are from John's Gospel, chapter 12, verse 21, in the King James version of the Bible. They were spoken by some Greek men to the Apostle Philip expressing a desire to meet with Jesus for themselves. John does not tell us whether their request was granted to them. But what a request: to see Jesus for themselves!
Apparantly in earlier times, many pulpits in Britain were engraved or marked with the words, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Some still display these words today. And what a wonderful request to make to our Father before we sit under the preached word, the Bible, this Sunday. Pray it before you leave for church; pray it in the pew before the service; pray it during the sermon itself. "Sir, we would see Jesus."
