🔑 Key Points:

• Social Media vs. Reality:

  • We all want to be known, but we often control what people know about us.
  • A humorous yet insightful story of a teenager whose parents took over her social media, revealing the tension between our curated online lives and real life.

• Jesus’ Invitation – “Come and See” (John 1:35-42):

  • John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God.
  • Two of John’s disciples immediately follow Jesus, and when asked what they seek, they simply ask, “Where are you staying?”
  • Jesus responds, “Come and see.” A simple yet profound invitation to experience him personally.

• Being Fully Known vs. Projecting an Image:

  • Many of us hesitate to be fully known, fearing rejection.
  • We create illusions of acceptance through social media and selective sharing.
  • True thriving comes when we are both known and loved.

• Jesus Knows and Loves Us Completely:

  • He saw Simon Peter not just as he was, but as who he would become.
  • Jesus doesn’t just tolerate us—he fully embraces us, flaws and all.
  • Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 13:12 remind us that we are already fully known by God, even as we continue to know Him more.

💡 Takeaway:
In a world where we filter and curate, Jesus invites us into real, raw, and unconditional relationship. Come and see—experience the freedom of being fully known and fully loved.
