John pointed his disciples towards Jesus, who he called the Lamb of God. Among the first to follow Jesus were the disciples Andrew and his brother Peter, as well as Philip and his friend Nathaniel. They were curious about Jesus, and Jesus welcomed them to come and get to know him. Part of what made them follow Jesus was because it seemed as if he really knew them and loved them.

In the same way, our relationship with Jesus starts with wanting to know him better and realizing he really knows and cares about us. The Word became flesh and initiated a relationship with humanity in such a beautiful way. When we get to know Jesus, we realize not only that he is our Lord and King, but he also wants to be our friend and guide us through our darkest paths of life with tenderness and grace.

Following Jesus is a journey where we can expect to see greater and greater things. Jesus invites us to his Kingdom, one that is new and wonderful. It changes our lives and the world around us.


Application: Lord, thank you for welcoming me into a relationship with you and to see your kingdom come on this earth through the way and life you lived.
One Word: Come and see
