The Everyday Sabbath

Come see for yourself.

John 1:45–46

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.

“Come and see,” said Philip.

Nathanael didn't expect a backhills town like Nazareth to be the place his Savior would come from.

Philip doesn't try to convince him. Instead he gives him an invitation:

Come and see for yourself.

Do you know someone who wonders how you can find peace in an unlikely place like God's word?

Don't try to convince them yourselves... Instead invite them:

Come and see Jesus for yourself!

Who might you invite to come and see Jesus like Philip? What is one way you could invite them to learn about their Savior?

Isaiah 44:6 “This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. Read the context A forger needs you to trust the source. Don't dig deeper or follow the paper trail. An idol works the same way: your job, your image, your future plans. The idol looks trustworthy until life proves it worthless. God doesn't need your trust to be legitimate. He's the first and the last. He verified himself by redeeming you. You...

Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God;the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Day after day they pour forth speech;night after night they reveal knowledge. The precepts of the Lord are right,giving joy to the heart.The commands of the Lord are radiant, — giving light to the eyes. Read the context How do you know God? There's the way everyone knows there is a god: Look out at nature! It's telling you there is a creator! But that message isn't enough. It isn't a message that saves....

Jer. 23:28–29 Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? Read the context The prophets in Jeremiah's were rounding off the sharp corners of God's Word. Why? Because the truth hurt — God's people had sinned! Scripture is powerful. There are times when what it says will hurt. Don't...
