Joh 7:34 “You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come.”
Why will some who seek Jesus not find Him? Because their aim in “seeking” is to dominate and gain control over Him. They want their will to be done and, by default, displace His authority in their lives. For example, earlier in the same chapter, they Jews intended to kill Him! (Joh 7:1)
Those who pursue Jesus with an agenda may find that He becomes elusive, and His will becomes difficult to ascertain. In contrast, those who seek Jesus to be with Him… to be led, directed, and guided by Him… will find Him readily!
De 4:29 “You will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
