John’s Disciples Follow Jesus

 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

 

Last weeks blog post and an podcast episode struck a chord with many. I so appreciate all the comments, emails and messages from you all.  Thank you. This topic is one I just can not shake. The Lord won’t let me move past it, so this week is part two of Beyond the Testimony.

How do we go beyond the testimony?

Jesus showed us how and what happens when we go beyond the testimony and invite others to “come and see.”

When John’s disciples followed after Jesus, they went beyond the testimony of what John the Baptist had been saying about Jesus to personally seeing and experiencing for themselves who He was.

 

 

The how is simply an invitation to come and see.  When we share what God has done, we need to also give an invitation for others to come and experience Jesus for themselves.  When they do they will encounter Him and see for themselves who He is and what He can do for them.

However, it just doesn’t stop there.  Jesus also showed us another example of how we invite others to “Come & See” who He is.

Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,  

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”  

They came out of the town and made their way toward him (John 4:28-30).

When Jesus ministered to the woman at the well it was so life changing and impacted her so deeply that she immediately left and went to town.  She abandoned her task at hand and moved on to what matter most.  Inviting people to “come and see” for themselves the man who changed her life.

This is what the church is supposed to do for those who have no idea who Jesus is.  Yes, we are to share out testimonies. But we must go beyond and invite people to come and see for themselves.

If you have never encountered or experienced who Jesus is, He is extending an invitation to you today to “Come and See” who He really is.

I dive more into this topic on this weeks podcast. I hope you will take a listen or watch.

Blessings

Episode #119 Come & See: Beyond the Testimony Part 2

Jesus showed us how to go beyond the testimony by inviting others to come and see. He started by calling His first disciples to come and see who He was and what He was all about (John 1:35-39).  But it’s more than Jesus inviting others. When He ministered to the woman at the well, she was so moved by her encounter with Him that she invited everyone in the town to “come and see” who Jesus was so they too could have their own experience and encounter Him first hand.

Have you had the opportunity to read my new book  “The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement: Hearing the Words of God for others.” ?  This book is about learning to hear the voice of God in our own life so we can respond to those God bumps and little nudges He gives us on a daily basis.    God is calling us to be agents of encouragement and to be the gift the worlds needs today.

We live in a time, where those around us are in desperate need of a real encounter with Jesus and in need of encouragement. We are called to encourage one another daily (Hebrews 3:13), and to build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11).  My book will teach you how to step out and do just that.

A practical guide to what it looks like and how to live a lifestyle of prophetic encouragement.

Are you Ready to #BeTheGift Someone Needs today?

Words have power.

To encourage. To comfort. To strengthen. To heal.

Especially when they come from God.

The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement Bible Study: Living a Lifestyle of Encouragement shows us how to follow Jesus by loving on and building up His church … one person, and one God-centered word, at a time. Diving deeply into Scripture, Pastor Debbie Kitterman beautifully unpacks the Biblical precedent of prophetic encouragement and teaches you how to hear from God. By doing so, you’ll bravely step into your calling to #BeTheGift others need.
