Get Connected Through “Come and See” Discipleship

Perhaps no twelve men have been more connected through discipleship than the men Jesus chose to follow Him and launch Christianity in the 1st century. Jesus spent most of his time with this small group for the better part of 3 1/2 years, teaching, modeling, and demonstrating what his Father taught him. And everything he learned from God the Father, he taught to these 12 men that became known as his disciples. Have you been wanting to disciple someone in how to follow Jesus, but you've been stuck, not knowing how to get started? Did you know that Jesus started his discipleship ministry with a simple three-word philosophy called ” Come and See?” Here it is in the New Testament book of John, chapter one, beginning in verse 35.

"The following day John was again standing with two of his disciples. As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and declared, ‘Look! There is the Lamb of God!’ When John’s two disciples heard this, they followed Jesus. Jesus looked around and saw them following. ‘What do you want?’ he asked them. They replied, ‘Rabbi’ (which means ‘Teacher’), ‘where are you staying?’ ‘Come and see,’ he said. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon when they went with him to the place where he was staying, and they remained with him the rest of the day." - John 1:35-39 (NLT)

“What do you want?” He asked them. That’s a good question. If you’re a curious searcher, wondering who Jesus is and why so many millions have put their trust in him enough to follow his teaching and his example, “What do you want?” is a fair question. “Come and see,” Jesus said. Come and see what?

Keep in mind that Jesus was talking to ordinary Jewish men, who had little or no understanding that their invitation was to come and see the second Person of the Trinity. Because they had been disciples (students) of John the Baptist, they had been exposed to things John had been saying about Jesus; and now that they were within earshot of him, they were at least willing to “come and see” if there was any validity to the claims.
