#soap # John 01 ## Title: Come and See ## Scripture: (John 1:38-39) Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, “What do you want?” So they said to him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), “where are you staying?” Jesus answered, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about four o’clock in the afternoon. (NET) ## Observation: You could see the four Gospels as divided into two sections. The first three would be described as “this is how it happened,” and the Gospel of John would be described as “come and see.” One tells and the other shows. The Gospel of John is the “show me” book. John even says the major miracles Jesus performed were to show His Messiahship. He calls them “signs.” This is what God has wanted all along. For us to not just hear of Him but to follow Him. He wants us to come and see, then stay. We must be careful that we are not simply curious about Jesus or treat Him as a Google search engine. He is after relationship. ## Application: Spend time with the Lord today. Go and see. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for desiring to know us.
