A video introduction using illustrations, personal stories, metaphors, or active learning examples to begin the discussion.
After the video, prompts are supplied for thinking and sharing with others personal perception and experience. This opening activity prompts participants to think about and relate to the topic, and to share with others.
Until You See It
Great logos often have hidden meanings you don’t notice at first, until someone points them out.
Amazon: The yellow arrow stretches from A to Z, forming a smile.
FedEx: Look between the e and the x for a white arrow formed in the space.
Baskin-Robbins: Notice the pink portion is the number 31 hidden in the BR initials.
Wendy’s: The word “MOM” is in the ruffles of Wendy’s collar
Pinterest: The P is shaped like a pin.
Goodwill: The letter G is also a smiling face.
Toblerone: In the mountain, look for a white bear climbing upward.
Look up the above with the word logo and see the message! Which do you think has the best message for the logo? The more you look, the more you see.
It is not only true advertising but is also true for seeing Jesus more and more.
The Bible discussion begins with a careful reading of the whole passage, either from your own Bibles, or from the provided images below.
Then participants are to ask:
The scene of “beholding Jesus” offers a powerful glimpse into how discipleship begins—not with a spotlight or a sermon, but with a simple invitation to walk, see, and stay. John the Baptist points to Jesus with six words: “Look, the Lamb of God!” That one sentence redirected the lives of two seekers. They heard. They followed. And Jesus, instead of preaching, turned and asked a deeply personal question: “What do you want?” It’s the first words of Jesus in the Gospel of John, and they still echo today. He doesn’t demand or explain but He invites: “Come, and you will see.”
That day marked the beginning of a journey not only to see where Jesus lived but also to discover who He truly was. The disciples didn’t just visit His house, but they spent the day with Him. Presence came before proclamation.
In a world overflowing with information, we have more to see than ever but less capacity to notice what is good, right, and true. Is it possible that in the constant scroll, we’re missing what matters most or, rather, the eternal things we’re meant to behold?
Like Jeremiah 29:13 says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jesus welcomes the curious. Revelation 3:20 reminds us He still knocks. When we respond by opening the door, He invites us to stay together.
