  John 1:35-42

Most of us assume spiritual growth begins with clarity—having answers, confidence, or conviction. But in John 1, discipleship begins somewhere far more honest: curiosity. Before belief, before commitment, Jesus invites two searching men with simple words—“Come and see.” We all need an encounter with Jesus for ourselves. You can’t follow a Jesus you’ve never met.

Discipleship deepens as encounter becomes abiding—when time with Jesus turns from a moment into a rhythm. As we open Scripture, we’re not just reading ancient words—we’re meeting the living Christ. Discipleship flourishes when time with Jesus becomes a daily rhythm, not a distant memory. The invitation still stands: meet Him, remain with Him, and allow His life to reshape yours from the inside out.
