J o h n the Baptist testified of Christ by saying,', "Behold the Lamb of G o d . " Hearing this, two of Jtihn's disciples wanted to knt)w more about Jesus and asked h i m where he lived. Jesus responded, "Come and see." W h e n A n d r e w , one of the two disciples, realized that he had found the promised Messiah, he knew that he had something of great value and wanted to share it. H e found his brother, Peter, and hrt)ught h i m to see Jesus for himself. A s members of T h e C h u r c h of Jesus C h r i s t of Latter-day Saints, we, like Andrew, have been given something of great value. It prompts us to give the same invitation to all who would know more about Jesus C h r i s t : "Come and see."
