We looked at the passage from John 1:29-42 were Jesus asks the disciples
"what do you want? they reply with
"where are you staying" and Jesus says
"Come and see"
Old Testament;
Wanting - to be like other tribes and have a king.
Where - God was in a box (tabernacle)
Come - The people of God frequently failed.
During Jesus' earthly ministry;
Wanting - to be like Jesus.
Where - God was in human form (Jesus) but emptied of God's powers to live as a man.
Come - The disciples failed repeatedly until Jesus payed the price on the cross, rose from the dead and sent the Holy Spirit to empower everyone.
In our lives;
Wanting - to follow Jesus.
Where - God is within us as Jesus sent his Holy Spirit to guide us.
Come - At the start of each day, ask God to show us the way.
