From the Word:  HEAR AND FOLLOW (John 1:35-51)
“The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.” (John 1:37 NASB)

What a great word picture!  And how simple.  Because of who John the Baptist was, how he lived his life and what he had already said to his followers, all he needed to say to them was “Behold the Lamb of God”.  And his disciples began to follow Jesus.

May my life and my words be a signpost to You, Lord, as John’s was.  AMEN.

P.S.  And then Andrew, one of these two guys, found his brother, and brought him to Jesus (v41-42).  What a great follow on!

Please pray with us:

Pictured here are the directors of The Navigator’s Metro Missions in major cities around the U.S. Also in the photo are our national Metro headquarters team.  I am travelling to Kansas City, MO this week to meet with them (and others).  We have been gathering annually in late January for encouragement, for keeping up with concerns and issues in our cities, and for time in the Word and prayer together (one of my favorite parts).  This year our time in the Word is focused on the issues of poverty, corruption, and injustice.  Leading up to this time, we have all done a Bible study on these topics and will be discussing our findings together.  Please pray for us that our discussions and our other times together will be led by the Holy Spirit.  Thanks.

Cities represented above include Atlanta, Boston, Philly (me - back row center), Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Denver, DC, and more (including Kansas City).
