02 | Jesus Calls Disciples

 

John 1:35-51

John begins his eyewitness account of the life and ministry of Jesus with a massive claim: in Jesus of Nazareth, the uncreated Creator, the God who formed all things and holds them together, showed the world what he is really like. It is a massive claim! And his first move, his first step toward revealing himself, is to gather a group of followers - unlikely and unpromising! - and invite them to “come and see” who he is and what he came to do. Here is a basic description of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus: to submit to him, learn who he is, and believe what he came to do, together.
