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?

1 John 2:15–17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. Read the context The world is obsessed with self-gratification. It tells you to chase what feels good... looks good... or what makes you look...

Exodus 2:2–3 When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. Read the context Moses' parents faced an impossible situation — Pharaoh wanted the child dead. In the middle of a dark world, they trusted God. When you see darkness in the world around you, it's frustrating when you don't...

1 John 2:9–11 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. Read the context The number of times I've tripped in the middle of the night is... embarrassing. Light...
