John 12:20-21 Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast; these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
How did the Greeks know to talk with Philip? How did they know they could gain access to Him through Philip? I’m not sure how. My guess is that they watched from a distance and could tell who Jesus’ disciples were. There was an observable contrast between those who were there merely for the show and those who were dedicated followers of Jesus. These Greeks had heard of Jesus perhaps or they had just arrived at the temple and were curious about this man who received so much praise and adulation from the people. For whatever reason, they wanted to see Jesus, and they figured Philip was the man to go to for access to Him. If someone had heard about Jesus and wanted to see Him, would they know to come to you or to me? Would it be clear to them as they watched our lives that we could introduce them to Him? I think if we live to love with Jesus, we will have many opportunities to take people to Jesus.
