Welcome :)

Welcome to "That We May See", a site that my wife and I prayed about putting together. We are both Christians. The reason we wanted to do this is because we've both compiled (and continue to) devotions, pondering thoughts about God &/or the Scriptures, prayers, Bible studies, and the like, and thought others may enjoy and be encouraged by them, too.

We got the idea of the name from a theme throughout the Gospel of John. For example:

  • When Andrew asked Jesus where He's staying, Jesus replied, "come and see."
  • When Nathanael asked Philip if anything good can come from Nazareth, Philip replied, "Come and see."
  • When Jesus spoke with Nathanael, He included, "Very truly I tell you, 'you will see'..."
  • In talking with Nicodemus, Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can (even) "See" the Kingdom of God without being born from above (born again, born from God)."
  • Then also, Jesus said, "We speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen."

In fact, as we've come to learn, Jesus' deity is revealed at least once in every chapter of John's Gospel...Jesus reveals His authority, Himself as the Messiah, God's Son, etc. in every chapter of John...yet nobody understands...they don't "see".

We've come to notice that people's biggest questions are usually either about life or God. Jesus said, "Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be answered, ask and you will receive."

It's our prayer that in all circumstances, we may see God. And we pray that as we include our experiences in this blog, that you may also.

We invite you to "Come and see".
