WEDNESDAY, August 3
[Joanna, Mary, and Salome]
John 1:38b-39a [Jesus] said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.”
Seeing is so much more than looking at the surface, which is why the invitation the disciples received to “come and see” is priceless. What Jesus is saying is, “Come and see where I live. Come and see what I do. Come and see who I am.” He is offering them himself.
Like the disciples standing with John the Baptist, we too have a special invitation. If we “come and see,” we will be called to bear witness to the true meaning of hospitality. Jesus’s home is our home too. He is the host.
MOVING FORWARD: How can you respond to Jesus's invitation to "come and see"?
