Come and See (John 1:35-51)

In John 1:35-51, the Apostles began following Jesus.

The following began when John the Baptist pointed Jesus out to two of his disciples, saying, “Behold the Lamb of God.” Understanding this to be a reference to the forgiveness that the Christ would bring for the sins of all mankind, John and Andrew left the Baptist’s side and followed Jesus.

Andrew went on to find his brother, Simon (now called Peter), and told him that “We have found the Christ.”

Jesus found Phillip, who went to find Nathanael, whom Jesus described as an Israelite “in whom there was no deceit.”

In reading about these interactions, three things are said of Jesus.

  1. He is the Lamb of God (who takes away the sin of the world.)
  2. He is the Messiah, the Christ, our Deliverer.
  3. He is the King.

In the above-posted sermon, we examine each of these claims more thoroughly, and we explore more fully who Jesus is.
