“Come and you will see!”

John 1:35-39, The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.”

John the Baptist simply points the way to Jesus, and his two disciples begin to follow him. How wonderful it is that He immediately turns to them and invites them to “Come and see.” “The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”

We come to You that we may see!
