Come and See

“Come and see,” Jesus said to the disciples of John who came after him.  Come and see.  A physical invitation and yet so much more.

How many of us get caught up in the physical aspect of the actual written word, so much that we miss the meaning behind it?

I read a great devotion this morning about this passage.  These disciples asked Jesus where he was staying, and he told them to come and see for them selves.  They went and saw, and then they stayed with Jesus. They physically came and saw and remained with him, and the transformation started and it went from a physical notion to a spiritual one.  And then one of them was so transformed by the experience that they went and got another…

Andrew went and got his brother and told him, “Come and see, we have found the anointed one.” Come and see, come and be changed. Come and allow the transformation over take you.  All of this happens in a few verses, and many of take a lifetime to invite others to come and see the diference Jesus has made in our lives.

So you have come and seen, why have you not invited others to do the same?
