“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. John 1:46 (NIV)
“Come and see!” is echoed several times in the New Testament. Philip told Nathanael he had met the Messiah. “Come and see,” he urged his friend. The woman at the well told her fellow villagers, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did” (John 4:29). After Jesus rose from the dead, an angel invited the women to “come and see” His empty tomb (Matthew 26:6).
“Nana, come and see!” I hear these words from my grandkids when they’re excited to show me something. It might be a rainbow in the sky, an interesting beetle on the sidewalk, or their favorite cartoon character on television. Whether it turns out to be something beautiful, shocking, or gross, if they want to show it to me, then I want to see it.

There are times when Jesus wants to show us something new. Come and see what will happen if you talk about Me to your neighbor. Come and see what you will learn if you commit to that Bible study or small group. Come and see how I can use you if you give up that unhealthy habit. Come and see how close we can be when you start each day with prayer. The invitation is being extended. How will you respond?
Faith Step: Ask Jesus what new thing He wants to show you and keep your eyes open for His gifts.
