In 1966 the band Buffalo Springfield wrote a protest song called For What
It’s Worth. Accompanying an iconic guitar riff, Stephen Stills delivers this
classic opening line: “There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t
exactly clear…” So full confession, any time I read the 14th chapter of
John’s gospel, these lyrics run through my mind! Jesus seems to be talking
in riddles – he’s leaving to go to the Father, but he’s not leaving; he won’t be
seen, but you’ll see him. MORE
