In a scene from the movie Finding Bobbie Fisher,Bobbie is sitting next to his girlfriend under alighthouse and she says to him. "This is sobeautiful Bobbie where did you find such a placewith a lighthouse?" and Bobbie replies, "I didn'tfind it, it found me." Years ago the only way ships could tell wheretheir final destination happen to be was by thedim light shining in the distance from an oldlighthouse. Today, with technology lighthouses aremostly landmarks and reminders of what shippinguse to be like. But when you find one, there issomething special about them to experience. You see we didn't find Jesus he found us first.He chose us, and he knew that we were somethingspecial when he saw us from a distance. "Ye havenot chosen me, I have chosen you and ordained youthat ye should go and bear forth fruit, and yourfruit shall remain; that whosoever shall ask ofthe father in my name, he may give it to you."John 15:16.
