"...He replied, "Come along and see for yourself..." After Jesus's baptism, people began to wonder who he was and what he was up to. His reply, come and see. He still calls us this way. Come and see what I have in store for you. Though it might be scary to leave what you are doing and follow, he promises an adventurous and amazing road.... As he said to Nathanial "You've become a believer simply because I say I saw you one day sitting under the fig tree? You haven't seen anything yet! Before this is over you're going to see heaven open and God's angels descending to the Son of Man and ascending again."
At Crossings this week, Katie gave a great message on this subject. She compared what was going on in the verse to the movie, "The Visitor" where a lonely professor runs into an immigrant couple who illegally moved into an apartment that he owned. Over the course of time he got involved in their live and they got involved with his. Jesus called these disciples who happened to be around him into a crazy adventure and he calls each of us. Are we brave enough to follow?
