Thought Questions:
Do you think John was jealous or upset that several of his disciples left to follow Jesus?
What does this section of the chapter tell you about how to win disciples for Christ? Did the first disciples preach lengthy theological sermons to convince each other to follow Him? What did they do?
How much do we know about Andrew or the work that he did later? Yet, what important role did he play in this chapter? Can you even summarize Peter’s work in establishing the Christian church? What does that tell you about how important even your smallest efforts in witnessing might become?
Would you feel happy or scared if Jesus told you that He knew you before you even saw Him? What do you have to hide?
What does verse 50-51 give you as a motivation to follow Christ?
My prayer is:
that I would be able to find others and tell them, “See what I have found”;
that even my humblest acts of witnessing for Christ would be blessed for His work;
and that I would live daily with the hope of seeing more of God in Christ in the future.
