Come and See

Jacob was asked to give a talk in Primary back in January. I am so proud of this boy. Talking in front of others is very intimidating for him but Jacob never ceases to amaze me with his strength. Here is his talk so that we can remember his testimony right now.

“In the New Testament we read of an experience where John and Andrew approach Jesus at the beginning of his ministry.  As they come to Him, he asks them, “What seek ye?” and then invites them to “come and see.”

Elder Neil L. Andersen spoke about this story, he said, “I like the story of Andrew, who asked, “Master, where dwellest thou?”  Jesus could have responded with the location of where He lived.  But instead He said to Andrew, “Come and see.”  I like to think that the Savior was saying, “Come and see not only where I live but how I live.  Come and see who I am.  Come and feel the Spirit.” 

Many times in the Savior’s life, He asked those around Him to, come and follow Him.  He asks that same question to us today.  I am trying to develop my own testimony.  I am trying to learn who He is and how I feel the Spirit.  I know that as I learn more about Jesus, my love for Him will grow. 

I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
