Revealing the Real Jesus. "Come and See." John 1:29–51

In this Epiphany sermon from the series Revealing the Real Jesus, we slow down and watch how Jesus meets people in John 1:29–51. Jesus does not pressure, argue, or coerce belief. Instead, he invites people to come and see. Some follow quietly. Some are brought by friends. Some are skeptical. Some are explicitly sought out by Jesus himself.As we observe these first encounters, we learn something important about who Jesus is and how he works. Jesus is not a method, a formula, or a set of ideas to master. He is a living person who invites us into relationship with himself.The sermon ends with a simple question meant for reflection.
