Come and See – Part 1 – Jesus the Man

Sermon Resources

The first appearance of this simple phrase “Come and See” in the Gospel of John is John chapter 1.  By this point Jesus had already given the world many evidences of who He really is, so when he calls his first disciples – Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathaniel, He has the facts to explain how He fits into the grand sweep of scripture from creation to Revelation. In this message, we will look at the evidences provided by the early ministr of Christ to help us lead our skeptical friends into udnerstanding who Christ is claiming and is viewed to be.

This Easter – I challenge you to “Come and See”!  There are four times in the Gospels this simple phrase is used and it maps out a deeper and growing understanding of who Christ is as you move from the first until the last.  This Easter sermon series will walk the steps along the journey to discovery for the disciples and for all who will take a moment to “come and see”. First, we will look at the original call of the disciples and the few but powerful evidences that they had at the beginning of Christ’s ministry.  Second, we will hear the words from the woman at the well as she and the disciples discover that Christ is more than just a man – but is He just a prophet?  Third, we will recall the word of Mary, Lazarus’ sister as she invited Jesus to attend to a dead man – this scene will climax the teaching ministry of Jesus as He demonstrates His miraculous powers over life and death. Finally, on Easter Sunday, the angel brings us face to face with the ultimate evidence of who Christ is – the empty tomb. You are invited to walk with us on the journey to discovering for youself exactly who is this Jesus Christ.
