Come and See


John 1:35-39 "Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?  They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?  He saith unto them, Come and see.  They came and dwelt with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour."

We are not given any details of what happened as these disciples spent time with the Savior in His home, but later one of those men said, "We have found...the Christ" (John 1:41).

The only way to learn about Christ is to come unto Him, to learn about Him, to follow Him.  Similarly, the only way to know about how members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints live is to spend time with us.  There's been a lot of crazy stuff said about us Mormons.  Whatever you've heard, truth or untruth, we believe in Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer of the world. and we try our best to follow Him.  The only way to know this is true is to come and see.  And that's our invitation:

Come and learn.
Come and know how families can be together forever.
Come and worship with us.
Come and hear the words of a living prophet.
Come and find answers.
Come and help others.
Come and see how you can come closer to Him.

If you have come and are currently seeing the love of the Lord in your life, invite someone you love to come and see what we have.

If you have come and seen and have left us, come back and see again the beauty and simplicity of the Lord's way.

If you haven't ever come or seen, just come.  The door is always open.
