Come and See
The statement of “come and see” is the primary means we have
to prove things to others. We have them look at the circumstances and observe
what we are telling them so they will know we speak the truth. Normally what a
person sees will establish the validity of any situation.
The Sunday morning message at our
church included St. John 1:39, where two of John the Baptist’s disciples were
following Jesus. They asked Him where He dwelt and He told them, come and see.
They continued with Him and stayed with Him that day. One of the men was
Andrew, Peter’s brother, who called Peter and told him they had found the
Messiah. Here is the beginning of the apostles being gathered to follow Jesus.
This is only one place where that statement is made and they are all used as a
means of verifying what is about to be shown.
This passage brought to my mind how often we fail to believe
what someone tells us. No matter how much we believe the person and know them,
we often question their statements. It isn’t because we think they would lie or
miss lead us but we just want to see for ourselves. The old saying “seeing is
believing” is often used to justify our requirement to view the situation.
Though it is usually thought to be a sign of disbelief it can also be a way to
prove something that we may feel is too good to be true.
Business opportunities are often treated the same way. When
someone finds a means of achieving their hopes and dreams others are skeptical.
This may be caused by jealousy, because of his or her struggles, or a fear of
not being able to join or succeed in the proposition. When these attitudes
appear it may appear as a rejection of the idea and we often give the response
to come and see. We ask them to look at the opportunity and give their opinion
on it. We tell them to see for themselves so they can view the possibilities
and know the value of participating but everyone must decide for their self.
So if a person asks you to come and see, go with them. The
thing you will view is important to them and may be beneficial to you also. We
never know what someone has found which we have been searching for ourselves.
