The Gospel of John | Come and See
In John’s gospel, anytime someone is intrigued by who Jesus is, Jesus extends the same invitation. “Come and you will see.” As we preach through John, each week, we want to say the same thing. Come and see who this Jesus is. In John’s gospel, he focuses primarily on the words and works of Jesus to fill in a full picture of his identity in hopes that we will arrive at the conclusion that Jesus is in fact Israel’s Messiah who offers abundant life now to all who believe in his name.
