One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. John 1:40-42 (NKJV)“
Andrew seemed to have understood a vital principle of discipleship: It is neither for private use nor, does it belong to a gated community or an exclusive club. Rather, it is an experience that must be shared with others.” Sabbath School Quarterly Bible Study Guide, p30.
The Study Guide goes on to ask if we were to tell someone about Jesus, what would we say that could make someone interested in following Him? That’s a pretty important question to get our heads around. So we’re going to explore this theme in our discussions this week as well as looking at some of the disciples’ reactions to Jesus’ call.
