John 1:41 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 1:41

Andrew's first instinct after meeting Jesus was to find his brother. The discovery of Jesus naturally overflows into telling others. This is the essence of witness.

Memory phrase: We have found the Messiah!

Talk about it: Andrew was so excited that he ran to tell his brother straight away. How do you feel when you have amazing news to share?

Prayer: Jesus, the excitement Andrew felt — let me feel that too! Help me want to tell others that I have found You.
