What Jesus Did! for 01/21/2014 [from Heartlight] They Followed! The next day John was there again. John had two of his followers with him. John saw Jesus walking by. John said, Look, the Lamb of God ! The two followers heard John say this, so they followed Jesus. — John 1:35-37 (ERV) Key Thought: John had already talked about Jesus being the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. This time, however, his message provokes a response in two of his own disciples. They followed Jesus. They shifted their allegiance from the human messenger to the glorious Message. As disciples of Jesus, our goal is to resist preacher or teacher infatuation—our faith shouldnt be built on a preacher, a pastor, a teacher, an evangelist—and remember the goal of their ministry: to get people to follow the Savior. Make sure your faith and hope are tied to Jesus and not to one of his messengers. The glory of any preachers or teachers message is Jesus, not that messengers style or personality. Lets make sure we follow Jesus, for this is the Christian messengers true glory! Todays Prayer: Father, thank you for those who have powerfully influenced my life toward faith. Your messengers that taught me about Jesus, stirred my heart to faith, and called me to righteousness are precious to me. However, dear Father, please guard me from so valuing your messenger that I forget your Message. By the power of your Holy Spirit, nudge me away from human dependency and help me to follow your Son wholeheartedly. In Jesus name I live and pray. Amen.
