John 1:35-41

35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour). 40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.

Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone).




2.    Andrew was a great student.

John 1:36-39 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

John taught he was not the Messiah but the Messiah was coming. When John the Baptist pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world, Andrew listened. He knew who Jesus was. He knew Jesus was the Messiah prophesied of Old.
 Andrew listened to John and followed Jesus. He listen to John, his teacher, he trusted his teacher, and he followed Jesus. Andrew was a great student. He learned and the knowledge gained drove his steps and his decisions. What kind of decisions do you make? Would you say you are doing good or harm to the kingdom of God. Remember Philippians requires we become blameless and harmless. I don't want to be harmful, the second I start being harmful, I have to consider what I am doing and where am I leading people. I cannot lead people astray. Don't be a harmful christian, remember the picture of the Predator, don't be this guy to the Kingdom.
