“Come and get me” is a common cry of the start of many childhood games. Kids love being sought after and caught up in arms of love and affection. The game of tag beckons the one who is “it,” to transfer acknowledgement and the receiving of another. My favorite is hide-andgo-seek, which involves a desperate seeker to find the one who is hidden. I love to hide. I have become very good at hiding away so well that many a seeker has given up and stopped seeking after me.

When I was a teenager some friends and I played a game in the evening when it was dark. I hid so well under a bush that no one ever found me. I was so quiet and restful that I remember falling asleep, only to wake up to find that everyone had given up on me and stopped searching. Everything was quiet, everyone had gone to bed, and it was a sad reality to have been forgotten. When I play with my children and begin to hear their frustration from their failure in finding me, I let out a whistle that says, “come and get me.” I do not like to remain hidden nor forgotten. I want to be found. After several whistles, and the luring in of their attention, they find me.

God works to draw all people to himself through his son. When seekers look to him and believe by eating of the bread of life, Jesus grabs a hold and will never let them go. Jesus never drives believers away and will never lose them. (Jn. 6:37-39) As the bread of life Jesus is saying, “Come and get me.” Do you have Jesus? If not, then come and get Him. When you get Him, He gets you. When you seek you will find Him. And when you look to the Son and believe you will have eternal life. (Jn. 6:40)
