It must have been overwhelming to realise who Jesus was for the very first time. The Jews had been waiting for the Messiah for centuries, and suddenly here He was, calling you to follow Him. Some just didn’t believe it; others took a while. Andrew got it straight away...
“Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus.” - John 1:40-42
Do you remember the moment you first met Jesus? Where were you when you realised who He is? What did you do?
I like what Andrew did. He immediately found someone to bring. He didn’t need any special evangelism training, or time to sort his own life out, or an equipping sermon series to listen to. He just found his brother and very simply told him the incredible news that they had found the Messiah.
Your own story is so important as part of telling people about Jesus. Today, if you get the opportunity, find someone to share that news with, and have that heart that simply says: I’ve found Jesus, come and see!
