Evening: Psalms 36, 39; John 1:19-28
Being lost is first about not knowing where you are. Once you know that, you can go anywhere you want. Life begins from where you are, here. The people of Israel are a people who are getting their bearings on the earth. They realize this is a place of exile, and we are strangers and wanderers on the earth. But then, they begin to expect, to hope, even to be certain ... that God will bring them home. John realizes Jesus is the Way home to a place of welcome, where we are no longer strangers but friends, even siblings.
