Scripture

John 1

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Come, follow me.” 44 Philip was from Bethsaida, Andrew and Peter’s hometown.
45 Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.”

46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”
“Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied.

Observation

Come and see for yourself! Jesus is the stairway to Heaven! Nathanael doubted that the Messiah could come from Nazareth. But once he met Jesus there was no doubt about who Nathanael believed Jesus to be as we read his response to Jesus in verse 49, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God—the King of Israel!”

Come and see! Inviting people to come join us in worship still works today. Inviting them to a small group or special event where the Good News of Jesus will be proclaimed still works today. Come and see! Come and see!

Application

I will invite folks this week to church so they can come and see for themselves!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, bring people into my life today who I can invite to church. Help me show them the way to Jesus.
