V39, “He saith unto them, Come and See. They came and saw where he dwelt,
and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.”
John the Baptist pointed his disciples to Jesus Christ.
“Behold the Lamb of God!”
The disciples ceased to follow John the Baptist
and began to follow Jesus –the Lamb of God
The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
The Lamb of God that is full of Grace and Mercy
The Lamb of God that forgives sin
The Lamb of God that gives eternal life
The Lamb of God that has gone to prepare a place for us
The Lamb of God that will, one day, soon, receive us to Himself
The messenger of God, John the Baptist, points to the Lamb of God.
The Lamb of God says, “Come and See”
Come and see what God has done!!

SLIDE - To “Come and See” the Lamb of God

Showing the world – GOD

because of OUR sins, paying justly for OUR sins
suffering OUR eternity of Hell, in OUR place.

Come and see what God has done!!
SLIDE - Come and See Jesus in the grave

Come and see what God has done!!
