Come and See

Pam Weinreis • March 14, 2025

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have the light of life.

The Lenten season is a week in, and already you may long for a do over day.

Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter. It is not just a list to abstain from so we can check off the box.

It is not about self-denial but coming and seeing what you really want most.

 To know our Lord.

To come and see.

You may think Lent is for our Catholic friends.



Any time we can cultivate a closer relationship with God, taking the time to detach from worldly distractions, this is beneficial.

"Jesus says to you in this moment, 'Come and see; because Jesus knows that whatever you see, you cannot unsee.'

Because: what you gaze on is what you fall in love with.

Stare at screens long enough and you may just fall in love with self-image and/or stuff.

But genuinely seeking Him always leads to following Him." (part of this is from Ann Voskamp)


Matthew4:19-20

"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men

. Immediately they left their nets and followed Him."

John 10:27

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

Come follow Jesus.

Until next time, Pam

What Is Christmas

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved though him."
