John 1:37

John 1:37

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

John's testimony did its job. The disciples followed Jesus — which was the whole point of John's ministry. True witness leads people to Jesus.

Memory phrase: They heard — and they followed.

Talk about it: These disciples heard one sentence from John and decided to follow Jesus. What made them willing to follow so quickly?

Prayer: Jesus, when I hear Your call, help me follow — just like those two disciples did.
