Mid-week Advent I/St. Andrew
John 1:35-42a
“We have found the Messiah.” You might well imagine a little excitement in Andrew’s voice as he tells his brother that they had found the Messiah. And it wasn’t that Andrew was in the process of looking—waiting, perhaps, but not looking; on the contrary, Andrew and Simon happened to be where Jesus was when Jesus was pointed out to Andrew. “The Messiah is here!” “We have found the Messiah.” Same thing.
