Jesus didn’t come just to be a teacher or a king—He came to be our friend. That means He wants to
spend time with us, listen to us, and help us. Jesus invited His disciples into friendship, and He invites
us too!

Day 2
Faith Fact
Jesus is my friend.
Faith Verse
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:5
Read:
“They said, ‘Rabbi, where are you staying?’ ‘Come,’ he replied, ‘and you will see.’” (John 1:38b-39)
When John the Baptist pointed his followers to Jesus, they were curious. And Jesus didn’t push
them away—He welcomed them with an invitation to “Come and see.” Jesus still invites us to spend
time with Him and get to know Him personally.

• How can we help others get to know Him too?

Set a special space in your home where you “meet” with Jesus this week—read a Bible story, pray, or
just sit quietly. Call it your “Come and See” space and invite Jesus into that moment with you.
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for welcoming us, even in our curiosity. You don't push us away, instead You welcome us with open arms. Amen.
