"Come and See!"

Come and See!

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”  (Or “Behold”, “Look!”)

John 1:35-37 The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples, when he saw Jesus walking by. "There is the Lamb of God!" he said. The two disciples heard him say this and went with Jesus.

John 1:38-39  Jesus turned, saw them following him, and asked, "What are you looking for?" They answered, "Where do you live, Rabbi?" (This word means "Teacher.") "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.

John 1:45-46   Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth." "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," answered Philip.

John 4:29  "Come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could he be the Messiah?"

“Come and see!”  “Look!”  Seems to be one of the most effective tools in personal evangelism!

Sometimes we can have some very complicated means of presenting the gospel. Obviously, people do need to learn what the gospel is all about: what Jesus did for us, who Jesus is, etc. However the initial invitation in personal evangelism can actually be very simple!  An enthusiastic invitation to meet Christ Himself! An invitation to a person to find out for himself about Jesus! Any Christian can do that.

Have you been touched by Jesus? Are you amazed by Him? Did He save you? Did He forgive you? Did He free you? Are you excited about that? Then let people know. Communicate your enthusiasm about Jesus, and invite people to find out for themselves about Him. It’s the probably the most effective evangelistic tool.
