COME AND SEE

 3/25/07 Bro. Lee Dotson

Come and See. Come with me see for yourself. Aren't those wonderful words? Aren't they the invitation Jesus has beenoffering to seekers throughout the centuries? Want to know what life is really about? Come and See. Want to find life eternal? Come and See. Hope? Love? Joy? Peace? Come and See. This is the Jesus who isn't afraid of your questions; who isn't intimidated by your doubts? ; who isn't reluctant to hear your struggles; who doesn't wince at your pain. This is Jesus. This is the Word who is God. And He invites you to come and see.

 And isn't that the invitation of the church? Come and See! "Come and See" is about Jesus not us. Come and See our Savior who makes his home among us. Come and See this Jesus whose love is based on who He is not who we've been. Come and See this Jesus whose words sometimes defy definition, whose actions go beyond our logic and whose life is beyond our wildest imagination. Come and See this God who dwells within us!

Come and See assumes people come from different places, different pasts. Come and See opens the door for the business man who has compromised his pride and his integrity just to keep his job. Come and See prepares the way for the wayward woman whose dignity has long since been trampled by life. Come and See welcomes in the homeless, the oppressed, the confused, the confident, the selfish, the sinners and the saints. Because Come and See is a call to discover Jesus who He really is.
