Come and See

Have you ever heard someone tell you that they saw something, and you just didn’t believe it?

Someone may say, “There’s a zebra in the bathroom!” Naturally, a zebra would not be in a bathroom; therefore you would not believe it. When that person keeps insisting, you finally agree to go when they say, “come and see!” Sure enough, there is a zebra in the bathroom because one got loose from the zoo and happened to wander in.

John pointed out Jesus to his disciples, and they asked where He was staying. Jesus told them, “Come and see” and they followed Him (John 1:39).

Later, Nathanael asked Philip if anything good could come out of Nazareth. Philip’s response was, “Come and see (John 1:46).”

When Jesus heard Lazarus had died, He inquired where his body lay. The response was, “Lord, come and see (John 11:34).”

John was shown the seven seals, and the four living creatures each told him “Come and see (Revelation 6).”

Imagine what response you could give if someone asked about your faith:

• “Where do you go to worship God?”
• “How can I receive eternal life?”
• “Can I get to Heaven?”

A natural response could be: “Come and see!” See you this coming Lord’s Day, Lord willing!
