Come and
see!
see!
,
Following Jesus is a
great adventure precisely because we cannot know what it will involve - His
disciples were invited to see "where He lived" and we are too - now
that we've been delivered from Egypt and passed through the water, not only can
we see where He lives... we can live there with Him - so, let's continue the
adventure

“And
looking upon Jesus as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned and saw
them following and said to them, What do you seek? They said to Him, Rabbi
(which is called, being translated, Teacher), where do you live? He says to
them, Come and see. They came and saw where He lived, and stayed with Him that
day, for it was about the tenth hour.” - John 1:36-39
As
Yeshua (Jesus) was about to begin his ministry, many were listening intently to
John the Baptist as He declared, “Behold the Lamb of God!” [John
1:36].
Some of those listening
to John were intrigued with the man he was pointing to, and they followed
Yeshua.
So, He
turned and questioned them, “What do you seek?”
"What do you
seek?"
Sounds like such a simple
question... but isn't it actually the most significant question of our lives?
What are we truly
seeking?
Their
response, "Where do you live?" says, "We want to know
more about you now..."
I love
Yeshua’s response … “Come and see."
It was an invitation into
an intriguing relationship and what a relationship it would be!
These young men were
about to become disciples of the Son of God. Could they have had any idea what
that would mean?
The small step of faith
to follow him, discover his whereabouts, without knowing anything of what it
would involve, the small step of faith... but they were seeking Him.
Passover
has ended, and we who have found our "Passover Lamb",
recognizing Yeshua, the Lamb of God, are we much different from the disciples
who curiously followed Him, not having a clue what awaited them when He said, “Come
and see!”
This narrative of the
disciples is their great adventure into knowing and serving the God of
creation.
Something about Him, and
the testimony of the Baptist, drew them forward in small irrevocable steps of
faith and decision.
Some of us sit on the
fence until we have more proof or assurance, and the decisive question, "What
do you seek?" sticks in our throat.
Following Yeshua is a
great adventure precisely because we cannot know what it will involve.
His disciples were invited
to see "where He lived" and we are too.
Now that we've been
delivered from Egypt and passed through the water, not only can we see where He
lives... we can live there with Him!
So, let's continue the
adventure.
