and kind of recognize him or her, but you can’t quite remember where

you’ve seen them before. In our world today, we whip out our phones and

look up their name and their career so that we can connect the dots.

It’s good to get an answer to the question “Who is that?” even if it’s

for something as trivial as just not having to keep wondering.  But the

question of “Who is Jesus” is more than just a mental exercise or an

answer to some trivia question.  Your answer to that question is the

defining decision of your life.  The Apostle John knew Jesus as his

friend on earth for about three years.  But then John meets Jesus in

heaven and is overwhelmed with who Jesus really is.  Let’s pray that as

we read about John’s experience that we see Jesus afresh and that this

vision changes our lives too!
