Come and See

I love the simple answer that Philip gives to the skeptical Nathaniel in John 1. Philip has just declared to Nathaniel that he has just found the One of whom Moses and the Law and the prophets spoke. In his prejudice Nathaniel scowls, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Unflustered Philip merely says, "Come and see". Three simple words, but such a great response. Come and see! Come and see the One to whom all of Scripture speaks.
And what is this One like to whom we want others to come and see. Look at what just one chapter in the Bible, John 1, tells us.
1. He is the Word - the communication of God vs. 1
2. He was with God vs 1
3. He is God vs 1
4. He was in the beginning with God vs 2
5. He made all things vs 3, 10
6. In Him is life and that life is the light of men vs 4
7. As the true light He enlightens everyone vs 9
8. He is Messiah - the One sent into the world vs 9, 41
9. He grants the right to become sons of God vs 12
10. He became flesh and dwelt among us vs 14
11. He is full of grace and truth - the display of His glory vs 14
12. He is at the Father's side and makes Him known vs 18
13. The greatest prophet is not worthy to untie the sandal of This One vs 27
14. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world vs 29, 36
15. He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit vs. 33
16. He is the Son of God vs 34, 49
17. He is Rabbi - teacher vs 49
That's just one chapter. There is so much more to come and see.
Let's continue our investigation of this Christ as we read His Word daily, and let's be faithful to call others to "come and see". Seek everyday to share all you know of Christ with those in your world and invite them to come and join the search of the unsearchable riches of Christ!
