John, The Gospel of Seeing

A key phrase in the Gospel is “Come and see.” The Gospel of John is about tasting and seeing that the Lord is good. It is an invitation to fellowship and to a relationship. John invites the readers to experience Jesus for themselves, to put aside pre-conceived thoughts and understandings about Jesus. We can only fully know Him from your own experience of Him. We can’t rely solely on other’s experiences of Him. Jesus promised that if we would take Him into our lives the eyes of understanding will be enlightened.
