John 1:36 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 1:36

John pointed to Jesus a second time. His message was consistent: it was always about Jesus, never about himself. This pointing led his own disciples to Jesus.

Memory phrase: John kept pointing to Jesus.

Talk about it: John pointed others to Jesus even though it meant his own disciples might leave him and follow Jesus. What does that tell you about John?

Prayer: Jesus, I want my life to keep pointing to You — again and again.
