Dear St. Alban's:
Last year during Lent, we read and discussed several of Kathryne Ann Kinsey's essays that she wrote from 2000 – 2003 when she attended Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Southern Pines, North Carolina. We'd like to do something similar this year by sharing an essay each week as a meditation and invitation to a holy Lent.

SOME THOUGHTS

SOME THOUGHTS
By Kathryne Ann Kinsey
In John’s writings in the New Testament we hear an interesting interchange between John the Baptist and Jesus. For John knew he baptized Jesus by water, but Jesus will be the one who will baptize by the Holy Spirit.
Later on when the disciples are following Jesus, he makes a very provocative invitation, “Come and See”. It is human nature to be curious about invitations given when we don’t know the outcome. Anyone who has been to a circus listening to a barker who extols what is on the other side of the curtain, or perhaps closer to home, who reads and believes advertisements, knows curiosity is part of our human nature. It stands to reason people who followed Jesus were curious and wanted to know what the outcome would be, especially when they finally decided they had found “the Messiah”.
