Susan Lafferty“What are you looking for?”
The question. Directed to two disciples of John. Earlier, they hear their teacher say, “Look, the Lamb of God!” as Jesus walks by. And they take off after Him.
Now they’re trailing behind on the path.
Jesus turns. And asks.
Clear visual. The prophet lying on his left side for 390 days. Then turning over to lie on his right side for 40 days.
Communicating to Israel and Judah the weight of their sin. And dire consequences. Great discomfort in the coming siege.
By way of illustration.
“Presenting defiled food….useless fire on My altar.”
The Lord God speaks to priests who stand careless in their sacrifice. Callous in their worship.
Disobedience reeks to high heaven.
And He’s calling them out.
