It's often said you should never meet your heroes because they're bound to disappoint you.
I have, a few times, and let's just say there's some truth to the saying.
On the flipside, imagine meeting someone you had low expectations of, and yet they turned out to be the most incredible person you'd ever met.
The Bible records just this kind of thing happening.
A woman at a well in the midday sun, meeting a Jewish traveller. A man who seems to know her better than she knows herself. A man who offers her eternal life.
A man called Jesus.
And having met this man, she rushes off to tell her friends to "come and see".
I wonder what you think Jesus might be like it you met Him. A hero who disappoints? Or someone who turns out to be the most incredible person you've ever met? Like the woman at the well.
I've met Jesus in the pages of the Bible; I too reckon you should "come and see".
You might be surprised who you find.
