He is elusive and mysterious, perhaps without intending to be. He speaks of Scripture and people become excited. He is a prophet, a healer, a rabble rouser. He claims to be no one is quite sure what. He is a short time with them, but long enough to have confused everything. Then he goes away. The people look. They talk of wonder. They know there is more. They yearn for it.
He is that way with us as well, but he comes back. In the story, he did not stay in Bethany. Then too he came back, but then it was to die.
