Come and See

Well, it's good to see you all this morning. Glad you could join us both in person and on the live stream.

You know, I've been rearranging my house a little bit these days, which has been great.

And I came across an envelope that I got from a friend of mine this summer.

And the envelope contained a series of letters that I wrote back in 1986

as I was in the process of coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

I had grown up hearing of Jesus.

I had heard his name and read some Bible stories, but I never understood him.

I was, in fact, blinded by my misunderstanding of who he was.

And I was not a follower of him.

In fact, I dismissed him and wanted to live my own way.

Anyway, my junior year in high school, some of you have been around for Trinity.

You've heard this story before.

But through conversations with friends and then reading through some C.S. Lewis, particularly Mere Christianity,

I came to understand who Jesus was.

And it was really fun to read through these letters again this week

and to see my 17-year-old self expressing the joy of finally and fully coming to understand who Jesus was

and hearing his call to respond to him,

to take my life and to follow him with all that I was.

And I knew what that looked like because I had these friends who had shown me what that looks like

as I had gotten to know them.

The thrill of understanding and living in light of the greatness of Jesus was pretty awesome.

As I read them as well, I was also reflecting on the fact that it's easy now, many years later,

to lose that thrill and that joy and that awe.

It's easy for Jesus to become familiar.

That if my experience of Jesus before I came to faith was that of misunderstanding

and therefore not really rejoicing in it,

how easy it is now for familiarity to also similarly blind me to his greatness

and dull my heart so that I don't respond.

I don't know about you this morning.

Maybe you're here seeking to understand Jesus for the first time.

Maybe you've known about him for a long time

but have not actually found the joy of knowing him.

Maybe you've been going to church for a long time

but familiarity and time have made it stale.

Wherever you're at this morning, our passage comes and invites us this morning

to look again at Jesus anew.

We're continuing in our series in the Gospel of John.

We're looking at John chapter 1 starting in verse 35.

John 1 · chapter mention

If you have that at home or here, you can look at it on your phone or in your Bible.

We're going to read it together.

Then I'm going to pray and then we will dive in.

All right.

So John chapter 1.

John 1 · chapter mention

And just to give us a little bit of context as we're diving in,

Pastor Nick preached last week on verses 1 through 18,

this grand prologue, this very, in some ways, almost philosophical depiction of who Jesus was.

The Word became flesh.

And here, after that, what we see is that the Apostle John begins to tell the story

of what that looked like on earth, how the Word became flesh on earth.

The end of chapter 1 and then in chapter 2, Jesus begins His ministry.

So that's where we're at in the Gospel of John.

Let's read our passage together.

John chapter 1, verse 35.

John 1:35

The next day, again, John was standing with two of his disciples.

And he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said,

Behold, the Lamb of God.

The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

Jesus turned, saw them following, and said to them,

What are you seeking?

And they said to him, Rabbi, which means teacher,

Where are you staying?

And he said to them, Come, and you will see.

So they came and saw where he was staying,

and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew,

Simon Peter's brother.

He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him,

We have found the Messiah, which means Christ.

He brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said,

So you are Simon, the son of John?

You shall be called Cephas, which means Peter.

The next day, Jesus decided to go to Galilee.

He found Philip and said to him, Follow me.

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Philip found Nathanael and said to him,

We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote,

Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Nathanael said to him,

Can anything good come of Nazareth?

And Philip said to him,

Come and see.

And Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,

Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit.

And Nathanael said to him,

How do you know me?

Jesus answered him,

Before Philip called you,

When you were under the fig tree,

I saw you.

Nathanael answered him,

Rabbi, you are the son of God.

You are the king of Israel.

And Jesus answered him,

Because I saw you,

Because I said to you,

I saw you under the fig tree,

Do you believe?

You will see greater things than these.

And he said to him,

Truly, truly, I say to you,

You will see heaven opened,

And the angels of God ascending and descending

On the son of man.

Will you pray with me?

Lord, as we look at this passage this morning,

Lord, we pray that you would open our eyes.

Lord, that we would see you, Jesus,

As you truly are.

That we would see you as this passage reveals you to be.

That we would see you as our king and our glory.

Lord, we pray that you would help us to see you.

And as we see you, Lord,

Will you turn our hearts towards you

In adoration, in worship.

Lord, I pray for your help this morning.

Will you give me your words to speak.

Lord, and may you bless each of us

Through the preaching of your word.

We pray this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Amen.

So, friends, as we come to this,

It's always good to remember

That when we read the Gospels,

That it's a narrative.

It's a story.

And it's built like a story.

And this story is built in a fairly simple way.

There is a setting in verses 35 and 36

Where John the Baptist's testimony about Jesus,

Which is that he's the Lamb of God

Who takes away the sin of the world,

Remembering the Passover and other places in the Old Testament

Where atonement for sin comes through the sacrifice of a lamb.

And so, in the setup, it just reminds us of that.

It doesn't expound on it.

And we're not going to spend a ton of time on it today.

But it starts there.

And then it launches into these two stories,

These two accounts of people,

The first disciples encountering Jesus.

First, we have Andrew and probably the Apostle John,

Who wrote this Gospel.

Andrew and John following Jesus.

And then Andrew coming and bringing his brother Peter to come with him.

And what that, and the interaction that they have with Jesus.

And then in verses 43 through 50,

You have the next day in a different place,

Jesus calling Philip,

And Philip bringing his friend Nathaniel,

And their encounter with Jesus.

And then in verse 51,

There's a final pronouncement.

And it looks like it might simply be a normal part of the end of that conversation.

But in fact, for two reasons,

I think it stands out as John's summary statement

That would stand out to us.

First, because Jesus says,

Amen, amen.

In this ESV, it says,

Truly, truly, I say to you,

Jesus is giving, saying,

Pay attention to this.

What I'm about to say is really important.

And then when he says,

I say to you,

You will see heaven opened and the angels of God descending.

Those you's are no longer singular.

The rest of the narrative says that he's talking to Nathaniel.

And then in verse 51,

It changes to talking to all of you.

And all of us.

And the gospel writer, John,

Wants us to see that verse 51 is the capstone of this narrative arc.

And in fact, a critical piece.

So having said that,

This passage is about this invitation to come and see.

Jesus invites Andrew and John,

Come and see.

Philip invites Nathaniel,

Come and see.

What is it that the gospel writer, John,

Wants us to see in this passage?

He wants us to see, first, how others see Jesus.

He wants to see, second, how Jesus sees others.

And third, how Jesus wants us to see him.

All right?

So we're going to work through those.

How others see Jesus is the first thing that the apostle wants us to see.

And one of the things that's striking as you read through this passage

is the number of times when Jesus gets put a label or a title on him.

I'm just going to run through them really quickly so we can see how clearly.

Verse 36, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

We've already talked about this as a reference to the Passover and the sacrificial system.

Verse 38, Andrew says to him,

You are rabbi.

That means teacher.

An honored one.

A spiritual leader.

Who in those days people would literally pick up their life

and follow someone in order to be taught by them.

And then in verse 41, as Andrew's talking to Peter, he says,

We found the Messiah, the Christ.

John transliterates it for his Greek-speaking Jewish audience of this book.

And he says,

The Messiah, which means Christ, which means anointed one.

And this imagery of the anointed one would arouse in the Jewish mind,

the king and the priest who would serve in the temple and serve in the capital

and who would rule over God's people.

The descendant of David, that the Jewish people were longing to come

and rule and reign over his people.

And then we see in verse 45, as Philip is saying,

Nathanael, you've got to come see this guy.

He says,

This is the one of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote.

He is the fulfillment of all the things that we've heard.

Those are sort of summary statements that say the whole Old Testament,

from beginning to end, is pointing towards something.

And we think this is the thing, this is the person, in fact, that it all points to.

The one who will come and restore God's kingdom,

bring the abundance and fullness of his love and provision,

who will establish peace and restore hope to his people.

And he says,

This one that the whole Old Testament, he's this particular guy.

He's this dude.

He's Jesus from Nazareth, the town up the way,

who's the son of Joseph, the carpenter,

who may have built your table.

And he locates this grand promise in this very particular person.

And John is helping us see,

this is the word became flesh.

This is the second person of the Trinity who was God and was with God

in a human body,

who lived in the town next door.

And finally, in verse 49,

as Nathanael interacts with Jesus,

Jesus reveals himself as being one with supernatural power.

Nathanael says,

You are the son of God.

You are the king of Israel.

Not someone who had come from Nazareth, by the way.

Nathanael looks at him and he says,

You're the promised one.

You're the one we've been looking for.

And John writes this gospel.

Here's the amazing thing.

You read this and you get the sense that

none of these people fully understood

what they were reading

and what they were saying

when they gave Jesus these titles.

None of them understood

who they were really talking to.

None of them had this fullness

of the word of God made flesh.

John is writing to say,

There's just this beginning.

And these people spoke better than they knew.

Better than they knew of who Jesus was.

Because the gospel writer is saying,

I'm going to set this up for you

and now I'm going to give you 20 chapters,

21 chapters,

so that you understand who this one is.

that in his life and ministry,

in his death and atoning sacrifice,

in his resurrection and victory

over sin and death,

these titles all foretell

how and who Jesus is going to fully be

as the Savior of the world.

These titles are like black and white sketches

that then the rest of the gospel

fills in with color

so that we understand him.

And the overall effect of it is this.

The one who you've been waiting for has come.

Don't delay.

Don't get distracted.

Don't miss this.

He is here.

Come and see this Jesus.

Come and spend time with him.

Come and ask him the questions

you need to ask.

Jesus invites the disciples.

Come.

Come and stay with me.

Come and follow me.

Come and see my greatness.

Friends,

do you see Jesus this morning?

Like this.

Do you hear his invitation in your life?

Whether you're exploring

or have known him for a long time,

he says,

come and see.

See him in all his majesty.

He knows you don't understand it all.

Who would?

He's the God of the universe.

Become flesh.

It'll take us a lifetime

to seek to understand.

And still,

we will continue to grow.

He knows that the spiritual words

and the terms that we use of him

will continue to mean more and more

as we go along in our lives.

But he says,

come.

Come and see the greatness of who I am.

This is the most important thing

you will ever know.

This is the most important thing

you will ever encounter.

And following him

and finding him

will be the greatest joy of your life.

And this is Jesus.

He invites us to explore it.

To explore his glory.

I remember

the opportunities I had

when I worked in Campus Ministry

to go to Colorado

every other summer

and go to Rocky Mountain National Park.

And the first time you drive

through Rocky Mountain National Park,

it's awesome.

Right?

It's absolutely majestic.

And you go up through the road

that goes through the whole thing.

And it's just,

it's breathtaking.

But you know what I found

because I had the opportunity

to stay there for a number of weeks

is that the glory of it

just continued to increase

as I found different hiking trails

and different paths

and climbed different peaks

and got to different mountain valleys.

And the beauty

and the glory

and the majesty

only increased

as I explored it more and more.

And this is what Jesus

is meant to be for us.

And this is what John is saying

that he's lifting up.

This is the one

who you should spend your time

worshiping and glorifying.

I want to step for just a second.

Pastor Nick alluded to this

in his prayer.

One of the pastoral concerns

that I've had over the last week

as I've been reading the news

is that some of our national discussion

about politics

have had very, very strong

religious overtones.

I'm concerned

that the name of Jesus

has been co-opted

for political ends

in our country.

I think there is confusion

in the broad society

and maybe even in the church

about how we understand

politics in the kingdom of God

and how they interact.

When you read the accounts

of the crowd

that ended up becoming a riot

and I can't

we're not going to start

with broad strokes

there was clear evidence

that many people there

not all

but many people there

were carrying signs

that says

Jesus saves.

They were having sing-alongs

to Our God Reigns.

One of the protesters

who was in the capital

said

I had to get in there

to plead the blood of Jesus

inside the capital.

Friends

this use of biblical verses

and apocalyptic imagery

for political agendas

reveals that

some have put their hope

in politics

and in political leaders

and have adopted

a religious fervor

about politics.

And we must be clear

that the Jesus

that John lifts up

in his gospel

is greater than that.

Neither Donald Trump

nor Joe Biden

will save us.

No political party

has the power

to rescue our nation

or our country.

Nor do they have the ability

to destroy it.

We cannot put our hope

in human systems

and human structures.

And look

I know

that in this room

and in our congregation

virtually

people have supported

different parties

different candidates

and there can be

good reasons

to do so.

But we cannot say

that one of them

has the imprint

and the blessing

of Jesus Christ

at the expense

of the other one

because Jesus

is above these things.

And when we see

that clearly

when Jesus is our king

and when Jesus reigns

over the world

we are then free

friends

to engage in politics

to engage in seeking

to bring righteousness

and justice

to bring light

and hope

to address the evils

of our day

from a biblical standpoint

to speak

to these things

we have a freedom

to know

that ultimately

those things

will not be

transformed

because of politics

or because of the person

who is sitting

in the White House

but because of the power

of God

and the redeemer

who sits on the throne

in heaven

over all things

for all time

and who will one day

come and establish

his kingdom.

Jesus alone

is our savior

and king

who calls us

to follow him.

He is the one

who won his victory

by dying for us

in humility

and weakness.

He is the one

worth dying for

and worth living for

and all other allegiances

must be secondary.

And the kingdom

that he builds

is not a kingdom

of this world

but it is a kingdom

of a people

from every tongue

tribe and nation

called the church.

And I say this

because

I want

the clarity

of Jesus' glory

to be the greatest

focus of our lives

and for us

to not confuse

and not conflate

politics

and political leaders

and political agendas.

And when I read

in the media today

there are a lot

of people

who are confused

about that.

But John the Apostle

says come and see.

Come and see

what kind of savior

he is here.

Come and see

and as he unfolds

the gospel

come and see

with a woman

in Samaria.

Come and see

with Nicodemus.

Come and see

with the lepers.

Come and see

with a blind man.

Come and see

with the priests

and the scribes.

Come and see

with his mourning friends

and the adoring crowds

and his disciples

who are stumbling

and fumbling

and failing

as they don't

fully understand him

and yet they stay

with him.

Come and see

Jesus

through their eyes.

That's not going

to work.

Come and see

Jesus

as others

see him

as the first

thing that

John wants

us to do.

The second

thing that

John wants

us to see

is how

Jesus sees

others

and by extension

us.

It's kind of

striking.

The narrative

structure

if you look

at these

two narratives

one with

Andrew and Peter

and one with

Philip and Nathaniel

is ending

with this

person being

invited to come

and interact

with Jesus

and Jesus

interacts with

them in a

particular way.

He sees

them in a

way that

transforms

them.

Simon comes

in and

Jesus says

who are you?

Oh you're

Simon son of

what is it?

John.

Simon son of

John.

Now I see

who I'm going

to make you

to be.

I'm going to

make you

Cephas which

means Peter.

And we know

from other

places this

means the

rock.

This is he's

seeing what

Jesus will do.

And one of the

things you need

to know is

John's audience

would have

known exactly

who Peter

was.

Because he

was one of

the most

famous Christians

in the first

century.

Everyone would

have known

the apostle

Peter the

bishop of

Rome.

And therefore

John doesn't

have to say

anything about

him.

He's like

you know

how this

turned out.

He became

the one that

Jesus saw

that he was

going to be.

In fact

Jesus made

him the man

that he was

going to be.

The focus

here is on

a Jesus who

knows people

thoroughly and

doesn't only

see into the

future to

see what

they will

become.

But he so

calls them

that he makes

them what he

calls them to

be.

And then

in Nathaniel

as Nathaniel

comes to

Jesus Jesus

looks at him

and says

behold an

Israelite in

whom there is

no deceit.

Jesus looks

at this man

and he says

well here's

someone who

is of the

tribe of

Israel.

And there's a

reference here

and we'll come

back to why

we get here

because you'll

see at the

end verse

51 is going

to be very

strongly

attached to

the story of

Jacob in

Genesis.

But here

Jesus looks

at Nathaniel

and says

you know

what the

people of

Israel one

of their

patriarchs was

Jacob and he

was a deceiver

but you are

one in whom

there is no

deceit.

You are

actually one

of Israel.

That is those

who follow

the God

who sees.

And Nathaniel

is transformed

by that comment.

Isn't it

striking?

Now Nathaniel

also says

how do you

know me?

And Jesus

says well

I saw you.

And this

seeing obviously

was supernatural.

It was not

physical.

It wasn't like

Jesus peeked

around the

corner and

said I'm

going to

get this

guy.

You know

this is not

a charlatan

with some

smoke and

mirrors.

Jesus had

an understanding

of where

Nathaniel was

that could

only be

because of

his deity.

I believe

that's what

the implication

of this

passage is.

And Nathaniel

says wow

you saw

me even

before you

could see

me with

your eyes.

And you

see me

as someone

in whom

there is

no deceit.

And in

these things

he then

responds.

He says wow

you are God.

You are the

son of God.

You are the

king of Israel.

You are the

one that

Philip told me

about.

And the

cynic becomes

a believer

in the instant

that he

encounters Jesus.

and friends

the beautiful

thing about it

is that Jesus

looks at us

as well.

And he

sees us

not as he

hopes we

will be

nor does

he see us

as we

try to be

but he

sees us

as he

will make

us

to be.

he sees

us

and he

knows

that in

his

calling

of us

to himself

he is

going to

bring a

transforming

power

whereby

because of

union with

him

he is

going to

make us

new

and he

sees the

woman

and the

man

that we

will

become

because of

his power

at work

in us.

and this

is an

amazing

thing.

Jesus'

vision of

us

has

transforming

power.

Friends

if you

encounter

Jesus

like this

not

not just

about what

you know

of him

but do

you know

what it's

like for

him to

know you?

Do you

know his

redemptive

power?

Revealing

himself to

you in

such a

way that

you respond

that your

heart changes

that you

fall down

and worship

that you

forsake

other things

to follow

him

that you

call him

God's

chosen

one.

So John

has shown

us what

other people

see in

Jesus

with this

list of

titles.

John

has shown

us what

Jesus sees

in other

people through

his redemptive

eyes but

finally in

verse 51

John wants

us to see

how Jesus

intends for

us to see

him.

Let's look

at these

verses again.

The end

of the

narrative

Jesus answers

Nathanael

and says

because I

said to

you I

saw you

under the

fig tree

do you

believe?

You will

see

greater

things

than

these.

You will

see

greater

things

than

these.

This

supernatural

vision that

I've had

of you

that could

only be

because I'm

God

is only

the beginning

of what

you're going

to see.

And then

he shifts

gears in

verse 51

and he

said to

him

truly

truly

truly

I say

to

you

you

will

see

heaven

open

and

the

angels

of

God

ascending

and

descending

on the

son

of man.

And every

Jew who

heard that

story would

know oh

he's talking

about

Jacob.

In

Genesis

Genesis 28:12–17

28

verses

12

through

17

18

the

patriarch

who

had

deceived

his

father

into

receiving

his

blessing

and now

was

fleeing

for his

life

from his

home

and while

he's out

in the

wilderness

he lay

down

put his

head on

a stone

and fell

asleep.

In

Genesis

28

it says

this

starting

in verse

12

and he

that is

Jacob

dreamed

and behold

there was

a ladder

set up

on the

earth

and the

top

of it

reached

to

heaven

and behold

the angels

of God

were ascending

and descending

on it

and behold

the Lord

stood above

it and said

I am the

Lord

the God

of Abraham

your father

and the

God

of Isaac

the land

on which

you lie

I will

give to

you

and to

your

offspring

your

offspring

shall be

like the

dust

of the

earth

and you

shall

spread

abroad

to the

west

and to

the

east

and to

the

north

and to

the

south

and in

you

and in

your

offspring

shall

all the

families

of the

earth

be

blessed

behold

I am

with

you

and will

keep

you

to this

land

for I

will

not

leave

you

until

I have

done

what

I

promised

you

and then

Jacob

awoke

from his

sleep

and said

surely

the Lord

is in

this

place

and I

did

not

know

it

and he

was

afraid

and he

said

how

awesome

is

this

place

there

is

none

other

this

is

none

other

than

the

house

of

God

and

this

is

the

gate

of

heaven

so

this

well

known

story

of

the

patriarch

Jacob

having

this

vision

this

dream

of

a

ladder

and

we

usually

think

of

an

extension

ladder

that

we

sort

of

throw

up

on

the

side

of

our

house

this

is

not

a

good

vision

for

us

I

want

you

to

think

of

a

Babylonian

pyramid

with

a

staircase

going

up

one

side

that

has

layers

and

levels

and

the

stairs

go

up

and

up

and

it

was

built

like

the

Tower

of

Babel

in

Genesis

11

it

was

built

because

there

was

this

idea

that

you

could

somehow

create

a

connection

between

heaven

and

earth

by

creating

this

ladder

or

this

staircase

or

this

temple

so

God

takes

this

picture

and

he

plants

it

in

the

mind

of

Jacob

and

he

says

this

is

really

what's

going

on

I

am

creating

a

place

where

heaven

and

earth

will

meet

the

gate

of

heaven

and

he

comes

and

he

says

Jacob

you

are

the

one

who

is

the

fulfillment

of

the

promises

of

the

covenant

that

I've

made

to

Abraham

and

Isaac

I

will

make

your

people

great

and

I

will

bless

the

whole

world

and

I

will

make

my

glory

known

through

all

of

you

and

Jacob

receives

all

this

and

he

says

this

is

where

the

Lord

is

this

is

the

gate

of

heaven

and

I'm

going

to

call

this

place

Bethel

which

means

the

house

of

God

the

place

where

man

and

God

where

humans

men

and

women

can

meet

with

God

a

place

where

a

sinful

deceiver

could

be

welcomed

by

God

himself

and

what

Jesus

says

to

Nathaniel

and to

Philip

and to

Andrew

and to

us

I'm

the

one

I am

the

son

of

man

upon

whom

the

angels

are

descending

and

ascending

I

am

the

gate

to

heaven

I

am

the

place

where

God

dwells

I

am

the

way

do

you

want

to

get

to

God

I'm

the

way

that

you're

going

to

be

able

to

do

it

he

uses

his

title

son

of

man

that

would

have

probably

not

been

super

clear

to

the

disciples

and

he's

going

to

fill

in

all

the

meaning

of

that

as

he

lives

his

life

and

death

and

resurrection

and

ascension

says

I

am

the

one

where

you

can

meet

God

I

am

the

one

who

can

show

you

the

way

to

heaven

this

is

the

savior

that

we

were

looking

for

and

he

invites

us

to

come

and

see

and

friends

we

know

the

rest

of

the

story

just

as

many

of

the

readers

of

John's

gospel

would

have

we

know

that

Jesus

lived

a

life

of

miraculous

power

of

great

humility

and

weakness

he

lived

a

life

of

love

and

he

brought

foretastes

of

the

kingdom

of

God

as

he

overcame

the

effects

of

sin

and

death

and

at

the

end

of

his

life

he

offered

himself

up

on

the

cross

as

a

sacrifice

and

a

substitute

for

our

sin

dying

in

our

place

so

that

we

might

no

longer

live

in

death

and

darkness

separate

from

God

without

access

to

him

but

that

through

the

cross

and

through

his

resurrection

we

now

actually

have

by

faith

in

Christ

access

to

God

himself

this

is

the

word

made

flesh

dwelling

and

living

in

this

earth

among

people

John

says

and I

write

all of

this

so that

you

may

believe

that

Jesus

is

the

Christ

the

son

of

God

and

that

by

believing

you

may

have

life

in

his

name

friends

if you

don't

have

life

in

Jesus

name

this

morning

I

invite

you

come

and

notice

too

how

often

just

as

it

was

true

for

me

with

my

friends

Billy

and

Becky

John

and

Kim

and

others

how

often

we

come

to

see

Jesus

through

one

another

and

if

we

do

know

Jesus

we

don't

have

to

explain

him

to

people

we

don't

have

to

beat

people

over

the

head

with

who

he

is

we

don't

have

to

destroy

we

don't

have

to

argue

people

into

the

kingdom

we

can

just

say

come

come

and

see

come

and

see

this

Jesus

we

can

invite

others

to

see

what

we

see

the

great

savior

the

one

we've

been

waiting

for

the

one

in

whom

we

have

access

to

God

I'm

going

to

pray

in

just

a

minute

I

don't

know

maybe

some

of

you

this

morning

are

hearing

Jesus

invitation

to

come

to

him

in

faith

this

morning

like

Nathaniel

maybe

you

have

heard

something

that

has

sparked

in

your

heart

belief

maybe

some

of

you

are

sparked

to

explore

further

I

would

love

to

talk

with
