! Through the testimony of John the
Baptist, his disciples were pointed to
Jesus. This same testimony he gave
the previous day, but he was not
ashamed to repeat his sermon. His
theme was the Lamb of God, the sln
fiearer of the world.
I. Two of John’s Disciples Follow
Jesus (vv. 35-37).
As a result of the Baptist's testi
mony two of his disciples left him and
followed Jesus. One of these disciples
was Andrew (v. 40), and
the other was John. When the Baptist
pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God,
the long-expected Messiah, these dis
ciples sought further acquaintance
with Jesus. In view of John’s request,
they looked upon the Lord. This look
was sufficient to induce them to follow
Jesus. They believed.
H. The Two Disciples Abiding With
Jesus (vv. 33, 39).
1. Jesus’ Question (v. 38). When
Jesus saw the disciples following He
most kindly Inquired as to their object.
2. The Disciples’ Reply (v. 39).
They answered his question by Inquir
ing as to His dwelling place. Their
reply showed their desire to go apart
privately where they could disclose
their hearts to Him. Knowing their
hearts, He Invited them to His place
pf abode.
' HI. The Disciples Bringing Others
to Jeeua (vv. 40).
f The very genius of Christianity ts
sef?-propagatio'n. The usual method Is
to begin with tho6e nearest us —home
folks and relatives—and pass out to
ever-widening circles. The disciples
who were with Jesus In blessed fellow
ship go at once to tell others of the
priceless treasure they have found.
| L Andrew Brings Peter (w. 40-42).
'This Is a beautiful sight of brotherly
affection expressing Itself In bringing
another to Christ. The best place to
begin our testimony for Christ is
among our kinsfolk (Luke 8:89). This
was a great piece of work for Andrew,
for Peter became one of the pillars of
|the church of God.
! 2. Philip Bringing Nathaniel (w.
48-46). Christ found Philip the follow
ling day as he would go forth Into Gali
lee. Philip followed Him In response
to a personal invitation. As soon as
[Christ found Philip, Philip found Na
thaniel and witnessed to him concern
ing the messlahshlp of Jesus, He said
unto him, “We have found Him, of
whom Moses In the law, and the
prophets did write. Jesus of Nazareth”
- (v. 45). Nathaniel was somewhat
skeptical, but be was honest Philip
had the wlsdom'not to argue with him,
;but brought him to Jesus. The one
who Is honest when brought Into the
[presence of Jesus will soon have all
doubts removed (John T:17).
, IV. Nathanlsl, Seeing and Hearing
Jeeua, Testifies ta Hfa Divinity (vv.
4T-51).
; A a soon as Nathaniel saw and heard
Jesus all his doubts rolled away. He
who acts upon the light given shall see
greater things (w. 50. 51). Angels
ascending and descending upon the
Son of Man with the open heavens,
shows that Jesus Christ Is the means
of communication between earth and
heaven (Heb. 10:19, 20; Kph. 2:13;
Gen. 28:12).
This narrative concerning the expe
riences of the first disciples exhibits
the following stages of Christian expe
riences:
1. Hearing About Jesus (v. 36).
How important It Is that the minister
find teacher have a proper conception
of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb, the
sin-bearer of the world.
1 2. Looking Upon Jesus (v. 36). It is
necessary that the sinner definitely fix
bis attention upon Jesus.
' 3. Following Jesus (v. 37). It Is not
enough to merely look upon Him.
There must be definite efforts to follow
after, to Inquire of Him.
4. Abiding With Jesns (v. 39). Those
who earnestly look upon Jesus and In
quire after Him He welcomes Into
blessed fellowship.
5. Witnessing for Jesus (w. 41, 40).
The first thing the one does who has
come to Jesus is to begin to witness
for Him.
6. Bringing Others to Jesus. The
chief delight of the one who has come
to know Jesus by a personal experi
ence Is to bring others to Him.
Success
‘‘First of all,” said President Gar
field when a boy, ‘T must make myself
a man; If I do not succeed In that I
can succeed in oothing."
Good Temper
The difficult part of good temper
consists in accommodation to the 111
humor of others.
Duty Omitted
Every duty omitted obscures some
truth that we should know.—Buskin.
