Deuteronomy 7:17-26, Titus 3:1-15, John 1:43-51
John's Gospel explains so clearly who Jesus is! Messiah (vs 41 and vs 51), Expected One (vs 45), Lamb of God (vs 16), Son of man (vs 45), Son of God (vs 49), King of Israel (vs 49). These evaluations come from John the Baptist, Philip, Nathaniel and Jesus himself. But explanations or evaluations and experiences are two different things. The disciples experienced the power, compassion, love and kindness of Jesus after they obeyed his call to "follow him," or "come with me." In our own lives it is that life changing experience of answering Christ's call that makes Christ our personal Savior. Then we will fulfill Paul's admonition found in his letter to Titus, "for our people (Christians) must learn to help al who need their assistance that their lives will be fruitful." Titus 3:14. Those who have given themselves to others will live forever in every single heart they have touched.
Lord, may we always be aware of those who need to hear the message of the Gospel and respond in Jesus' name. A Christian is the living interpretation of God's message of love
