John 1:46 "Nathanael said to him, 'Can anything good come out of Nazareth?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'"

James 2:15-17 "If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,' and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead."

Reflect:
"Come and see." Philip didn't need to argue with Nathanael. He didn't nee to "defend Jesus." All he had to do was show Nathanael Jesus. Actions are important. If one's actions show people Jesus then there isn't a need for a whole lot of talking and arguing. If Jesus is real to me and my actions confirm that, then all anyone has to do is "come and see."

Respond:
God, thank you for revealing this truth to me from scripture. May my life so radiate with you that people can come and see the difference you can make in a life.
