John 1:35-42 New King James Version (NKJV)
35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”
They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone).
SERMON NOTES:
Introduction: As we begin the new year, we will be made aware of our Church's theme which we wiil try to use a guide to direct us in all that we do throughout 2018. The encouragement "Come and see" is not as much to show to others who we are as to Who Jesus is. When they do, then like us, they will "go and tell".
The passage that we will look at today presents an example of how this can be done:

ii. The _____________________ (vs. 37,38)
ii. The _____________________ (v. 39a)
