An Invitation to Encounter, from “The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves”
This week, we are revisiting the musical The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves, exploring devotional truths embedded in its songs. Today, we focus on one of the most beautiful invitations in Scripture—Come and see.
Not a Demand, But a Beckoning
In John 1, Jesus extends His first recorded invitation to Andrew and another disciple: “Come and see.” These words echo again from the lips of Philip to Nathanael, and from a Samaritan woman who became the first evangelist in her village. This episode explores the power of that invitation—not to argument, but to encounter. Jesus doesn’t compel us with fear or spectacle; He simply sees us and invites us to know Him.
