Come and See

Oct 12, 2025    Pastor Chad Zudweg

In this powerful exploration of John 1:35-51, we're reminded of our divine purpose: to point others to Jesus. Just as John the Baptist directed his disciples to Christ, we too are called to be signposts for the Savior. This isn't about gaining followers for ourselves, but about leading others to the One who saves. The passage beautifully illustrates how Jesus meets us exactly where we are, inviting us to 'come and see' without demanding we change first. This mirrors His unconditional love and acceptance, challenging us to approach Him and others with the same grace. As we reflect on Nathanael's skepticism about Jesus' origins, we're encouraged to look beyond our biases and recognize that God can use anyone, regardless of their background. This message resonates deeply, reminding us that our past doesn't define our potential in Christ. We're all invited to accept Jesus' call, allowing Him to transform our lives and use us for His glory, no matter where we've come from or what we've done.
