Come and See


In John 1 we are told of how Philip had met Jesus, and was convinced that he was the Messiah...the one Moses and the Prophets had foretold. So he goes to tell his friend Nathaniel. Well Nate isn't so easily convinced. He knows Jesus is from Nazareth and evidently Nate didn't think any good thing could come from Nazareth (that would be a presupposition, a potential obstacle for belief). Philip says one thing, "Come and see." That is what we want others to do. Come and see for themselves. Come as you are, and meet Jesus as He is. Jesus is the Differencemaker! Invite others to come and see.---The fastest growing churches in America have one thing in common...they are crazy about inviting people to come and meet Jesus.---Just do it. Get silly about it. Use our invite cards or make your own. Do all you do for God's glory.
