John 1:41
Not Just Any Man
Jesus came to earth as a baby so He might grow into a man, but not just any man. He came from heaven as our MESSIAH. Andrew heard John the Baptist announce that Jesus was the Lamb of God who had come to take away the sins of the world. Andrew followed Jesus and after spending time with Him, he told his brother, Simon Peter, “We have found the MESSIAH,” John 1:41. Andrew was intentional about his search for the Messiah and after finding Him was intentional about telling others. In what ways can we be more intentional about sharing Christ with others? We can begin by praying for the unsaved to turn to Christ. I label the last column in the Week at a Glance section of Prayers of My Heart: “Unsaved.” What can we pray for those who do not know Christ as Messiah? Here are 8 suggestions.
Jesus Christ, MESSIAH, You are love, forgiveness, hope, peace, and joy! Help us be as Andrew – intentional about following You and telling others about You.

Not Just Any Man
Jesus came to earth as a baby so He might grow into a man; but not just any man. He came from heaven as our MESSIAH. Andrew heard John the Baptist announce that Jesus was the Lamb of God who had come to take away the sins of the world. Andrew followed Jesus and after spending time with Him, went and told his brother, Simon Peter, “We have found the MESSIAH,” John 1:41. Andrew was intentional about his search for the Messiah and after finding Him, was intentional about telling others. What ways can we be more intentional about sharing Christ with others? We can begin by praying for our unsaved friends and for our nation to turn to Christ. I label the last column in the Week at a Glance section of Prayers of My Heart: “Unsaved” so I remember to daily pray for unsaved friends and family.

Praise to the MESSIAH
“He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, ‘We have found the MESSIAH‘ (which translated means Christ).”
Jesus came to earth as a baby so He might grow into a man; but not just any man. He came from heaven to die for our sins. He came as our MESSIAH. Jesus’s cousin, John the Baptist, recognized that He was the Lamb of God who had come to sacrificially take away the sins of the world. Andrew, who heard John announce who Jesus was, followed Jesus and asked where He was staying. After spending time with Jesus, Andrew went and found his brother, Simon Peter, and told him, “We have found the MESSIAH.” Andrew was intentional about his search for the MESSIAH. He was intentional about telling others he had found the Savior of the World. Andrew had it right. He knew there was more than our temporary earthly lives. His focus was on the Savior and pointing others to Him. How much like Andrew are we?
Jesus Christ, MESSIAH, You are all good things: love, forgiveness, hope, peace, and joy! Help us be as Andrew; intentional about following You and about telling others about You.

MESSIAH
“He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated means Christ).”
Jesus came to earth as a baby so that He might grow into a man, but not just any man. He came to be our Savior. He came to die for our sins. He came as our Messiah. Jesus’ cousin, John the Baptist, recognized that He was the Lamb of God who had come to take away the sins of the world. Andrew, who heard John’s proclamation about Jesus, followed Jesus and asked where He was staying. After spending time with Jesus, Andrew went and found his brother Simon Peter and told him, “We have found the Messiah.” Andrew was intentional about his search for the Messiah. He was intentional about telling others he had found Him. Shouldn’t that be being said about us?
Jesus Christ, MESSIAH, You bring all good things: love, forgiveness, hope, peace, and joy! May I be as Andrew and be intentional about following You and about telling others about You.
