'First Thing Upon Meeting Jesus!' - John 1:40-41

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of [John the Baptizer's disciples] who heard what John said and then followed Jesus. Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means "Christ").

—John 1:40-41 NLT

Key Thought​

Did you notice the first thing Andrew did after he started following Jesus? He searched and found his brother and told him about Jesus! Each time we see Andrew in the Gospel of John, he is bringing others to Jesus. [1] Shouldn't you be an Andrew, too? Who is someone with whom you would like to share Jesus? Why not pray daily that the Lord will open that person's heart and help you see the opportunity to share your faith and Jesus' grace?

Today's Prayer​

Loving and righteous Father, please bless me as I seek to share Jesus with ... Give me the wisdom to see your work in their lives, to know the right time for them to hear about Christ, and to have the courage to share my faith and your salvation with them. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

[Winters]

The first time they met, they knew from the depths of their soul that they were looking at the Son of the Living God. They could not help but stare at eternity. He is the Creator of all good things and He is the giver of life. He sent us here to earth to be a blessing and to share the good news to those lost souls of the world.
Where should we go? They said. Thou has the words of eternal life.

 

[Rizakar]

I have my purse full of gospel tracts and hand them out most everywhere praying the Lord may touch their hearts in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.
