Our first reading and our Gospel have invitations to relationship with God-to come and see. We get these invitations, too! In our Baptism, we are claimed by God, chosen by God, loved by God. God makes the first move-and we then discover God’s presence in our lives. That discovery of love and forgiveness and unconditional acceptance leads to a decision on our part-to turn our lives to Christ as we come and see him, grow in our love for him, and allow him to take control of our lives in faith. Then, we put that decision into action as we live the life to which we are called-led by the Spirit, serving God and sharing Christ’s love with all. Jesus says to each of us today; “Come and See!”.
