"Come And See"

 John 1:35-39

In our text passage we see two curious disciples of John the Baptist asking Jesus where He stayed, Jesus replied "come and see"

Come and see is a divine invitation.

It was Jesus's benevolent gesture to the two disciples of John the Baptist who dared to follow Him.

It is Jesus's invitation to you today as well, "come and see"

God is interested in people finding Him.

God is not difficult to find.

Jeremiah 29:13

In fact God came that we might find Him.

Jesus hasn't changed in His wisdom  and the way He would answer many of the questions He answered in the Bible.

Hebrews 13:8

Malachi 3:6

For all those asking if God is real, the answer is "come and see"

For the many asking if God is faithful, God would say to you "come and see"

For those who wonder and are asking does God answer prayers today? God is saying "come and see"

When John the Baptist began to doubt Jesus because of John's challenges and what was his human expectation of how Jesus was to tackle issues, Jesus replied John's disciples "Go back and report to John what you see: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the good news is preached to the poor"

Matthew 11:2-5

When you find God you will experience and see divine power at work, you will know and experience the miraculous.

Where Jesus Christ is, the supernatural is there.

Two curious disciples of John the Baptist were compelled by Jesus.

There is something compelling about Jesus Christ that makes us desire to go and see.

The disciples of John the Baptist followed Jesus because of their master's testimony of Jesus.

They were content to abide with Jesus after Jesus told them to "come and see"

When you come to Jesus you will find contentment and satisfaction.

"Come and see" is an invitation to contentment, satisfaction, destiny, and fulfillment.

"Come and see" is an invitation from the Master to the miraculous, the supernatural, and the kingdom.

"Come and see" is an invitation to the wisdom and revelation of God through Jesus Christ.

"Come and see" is an invitation to drink from the waters of God and experience the life of God.

Isaiah 55:1,2

Those John the Baptist disciples came and they saw.

Like John the Baptist, your testimony of Jesus can compel others to go and see Jesus.

John the Baptist was a great prophet, but he was also human. 

He had his flaws, he allowed doubt to creep upon him at a very sensitive and crucial time.

Just like many of us do.

Just as John the Baptist felt, we can feel discouraged and begin to doubt the glorious testimonies we have broadcasted about Jesus.

Like John we can feel offended in God and discouraged when things haven't happened as we expect them to.

Matthew 11:2-6

When we feel offended and discouraged, perhaps we need to "come and see" a second time.

God is a God of second chances.

There is a lot to "come and see" with regards to the power of prayer.

James 5:16

There is a lot to "come and see" in the Holy Spirit, the Word, and the heavenly Father.

Come and you will see there is light in God's word for internal darkness.

2 Peter 1:19

Come and see, there is a lot God wants us to see in His word- prophecy, revelation, light and life!

Psalm 119:18
