Come and See - 30 Days with Jesus - Day 1

"Come and See"
John 1:1-51

When Philip met Jesus, the first thing he did was go find his friend Nathanael and tell him that he'd found the Messiah. Nathanael wasn't sure if anything good could come out of Nazareth, but Philip insisted "Come and see." Nathanael did come, and he saw that Philip was right. He had found the Messiah.

The Messiah is still the same today. Come and see...

The Life

1. He gave us earthly life - "All things were made by him..." John 1:3 We learn in Genesis that God created the Heaven and the earth. He is the Master Painter that colored the sky blue. He created the seas, the moon and the stars (which He calls by name). And we are His masterpieces. He created each of us and breathed life into our bodies. (See Psalm 139:13-14) He gave us life.
2. He gives us eternal life - "In him was life..." John 1:4a "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die..." John 11:25-26a "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." John 6:51 Through His death, Jesus gave us life eternal, IF we accept Him.

The Light

1. See the Light - "...and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not...That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:5-9 Jesus is the Light of the world, sent to condemn our sins and destroy the darkness in our lives. "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, for their deeds were evil." John 3:17-19 "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 3:21
2. Be the Light - We are to be witnesses for God. "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." Matthew 5:14 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the earth. Amen." Matthew 28:19-20

The Lamb of God

1. Worship the Messiah - Jesus is the promised Messiah and is worthy of our worship. "Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel." John 1:49 "Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy." Psalm 99:5
2. Witness the Miracles - "Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he saith unto him, Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." John 1:50-51 "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him." John 2:11

The Messiah is "the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6). He is our Life, He is our Light, and He is the Lamb of God.

Come and see the Man from Nazareth called Christ. He is waiting for you...
