The Gospel of John - Come and See

On Sunday morning, we're going to join millions of people around the world in the corporate worship of Jesus. This gathering, we often call church, started with one simple invitation - "come and see." This is the invitation of Jesus. As Jesus started gaining followers this was His invitation. Yet too often most of us think of Jesus and immediately think of things we should be doing or things we need to stop doing. But Jesus didn't say "feel guilt and shame." He didn't say "be afraid and worry." Jesus said, "Come and see!" As we kick off another year, may we be a church that will accept and extend that invitation. May we see every nudge of the spirit as a come and see invitation.
