CHILD-FRIENDLY COME AND SEE!

John 1:35,37-39 GNT

The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples, [37] The two disciples heard him say this and went with Jesus. [38] Jesus turned, saw them following him, and asked, "What are you looking for?" They answered, "Where do you live, Rabbi?" (This word means "Teacher.") [39] "Come and see," he answered. (It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon.) So they went with him and saw where he lived, and spent the rest of that day with him.

 

The words “Come and see” are a special invitation from Jesus. They are simple, but they carry a big meaning. All through the Bible, God invites people to come close to Him, learn from Him, and see who He really is. Jesus still gives us this same invitation today.

Come and see is an invitation to know Jesus. When John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”, two of his followers wanted to meet Jesus. Jesus asked them, “What do you want?” They said, “Where are You staying?” Jesus replied, “Come and see.” 

He didn’t give them a long lesson. He invited them to spend time with Him. Jesus wants us to know Him by being close to Him, talking to Him, and walking with Him every day.

Come and see is an invitation to see God’s works. When Philip told Nathanael about Jesus, Nathanael didn’t believe at first. He asked, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip didn’t argue. He simply said, “Come and see.” 

When Nathanael met Jesus, he believed right away. Sometimes the best way to help others know Jesus is to invite them to meet Him for themselves.

Come and see is an invitation to remember God’s power. Psalm 66:5 says, “Come and see what God has done.” When we look back at the good things God has done for us, our hearts become thankful and strong.

Come and see is also an invitation to bring our feelings to Jesus. When Lazarus died, the people said, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus came close, felt their sadness, and even cried with them. Jesus cares about our pain and always stays near.

Today, Jesus still says, “Come and see My love, My power, and My goodness.”

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
