John || What Are You Seeking?
John 1:35-36
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
John 1:37
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
1. Follow because of testimony
2. Leave someone else to follow Jesus.
John 1:38
Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Seeking – zeteo – seeking with the intent to find something that is missing or lacking.
When Jesus asks you a question it’s not just a question, it’s an invitation to examine your own heart.
Rabbi – “my great one”
“Where are you staying?”
John 1:39
He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
“Come and you will see”
John 1:40
One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
WHO WAS THE OTHER GUY!?
Jesus loves to take nobodies and turn them into somebody.
John 1:41
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).
John 1:42
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).
When Jesus sees you He doesn’t see what you are, He sees what you can become if you believe.
What are you seeking?
“COME AND YOU WILL SEE”
