Episode 2: Come and See
John 1:35–51 | A Love That Changes Everything
What does it mean to follow Jesus—and where does that journey really begin?
In this episode of the Abide Podcast, we step into John 1:35–51, where Jesus offers His first invitation to potential disciples: “Come and see.” Rather than issuing a command or laying out expectations, Jesus invites curiosity, presence, and relationship.
As we walk through this passage together, we’ll explore the significance of the invitation that still stands today and reflect on the names Jesus is given—Lamb of God, Rabbi, Messiah, Son of God, and King of Israel—each revealing something essential about who He is and the kind of love He offers.
This episode includes Scripture reading, teaching, thoughtful reflection, and a gentle practice to help you linger with God’s Word beyond the episode. A Listener Reflection Card is available in the show notes to guide you as you abide with this invitation throughout the week.
You don’t have to have all the answers.
You’re simply invited to come—and see.
LISTENER REFLECTION CARD
📖 Scripture to Abide In
“Jesus said to them, ‘Come and you will see.’ So they came and saw where he was staying, and
they stayed with him that day.”
— John 1:39 (ESV)
🌿 Truth to Hold
Jesus does not begin with demands or explanations—
He begins with an invitation.
A love that changes everything first invites us to be with Him.
💭 Question to Ponder
What name or title of Jesus do you most need to lean into right now—
Lamb of God, Rabbi, Messiah, Son of God, or King?
👣 Gentle Practice for the Week
Set aside five quiet minutes this week.
Sit with the words “Come and see.”
Ask Jesus to show you who He is—and how He is inviting you to follow Him more closely.
Abide. Behold. And stay close to Jesus.
