"Come and See"

"'Come and see' they respond in the story found in John 11:28-37.  It's the same response Jesus had given to the early disciples' inquiry as to where He was staying (Jn. 1:46).   It's the simplest of invitations and yet it goes to the heart of Christian faith. 

'Come and see,' we say to Jesus, as we lead Him, all tears, to the place of our deepest grief and sorrow.  'Come and see,' He says to us in reply, as He leads us through the sorrow to the place where He now dwells in light and love and resurrection glory.

And, even more evocative (Jn. 21:12), 'Come and have breakfast.'  The new day is dawning; and, though where we live the night can be very dark, and the tears very bitter, there is light and joy waiting not far away." 

- an excerpt from "John for Everyone" by N.T. Wright :)
