Continuing in John chapter 1…

On the next day, He desired to go into Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow Me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” And Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” (John 1.43 – 46, LSB)

The best evangelistic technique of all time: “Come and see.” How?

• By reading the Gospels with an open mind? That’s one way to “come and see,” but there are others…
• By coming to a spirit-filled gathering? When my daughter was in a now more closed country teaching in an international school, I preached in their large “fellowship” (not a “church,” mind you!). Of the 400 people there, at least half were new believers and seekers from that country, many of whom were attracted to the love and enthusiasm they sensed there.
• By observing a community of believers living life together? The blog Blessed to Be a Blessing talks about how a chemistry tutoring party in Kuala Lampur became a “come and see” experience.  

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5.16, NIV)

For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region. (Acts 13.47 – 49, ESV)
