Come and See!

Most church bulletins are used in some way to remind readers of upcoming church activities and ministry opportunities. For multiple weeks I have enjoyed writing this short column to remind us not of the activities of our fellowship, but rather to remind us of the wondrous and challenging Biblical truths that must drive and under gird all of the activities and ministries of our lives. The title and concept for this column is based on Peter’s words in 2 Peter 1:12-13 “For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you.” (NKJV) This week I again want to remind us of something we already know, simply stated: Jesus loves you! As we meditate on the Lamb of God’s invitation to His first followers:
“Come and see,” (John 1:39),
I am reminded of the wondrous day when I first looked to the Lamb of God and He said to me, “Come and see.” He opened my blind eyes, forgave my sin, washed me clean and made me His disciple, His brother, His friend. We are invited with every communion meal to pause and remember that blessed day, to behold the Lamb of God, and to remember how much Jesus loves us! 1 John 3:16 “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

Where will the Lord lead us next?
COME AND SEE!
