Come with me

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter). ~John 1:40-42

When the truth of who Jesus was had been revealed to Andrew the first thing he did after following Jesus for himself was to go and get his brother and bring him to Jesus. If you read further you will see the patten repeated with Philip.  In this case Jesus finds and calls Philip. Philip thens goes and brings  Nathaniel to see Jesus.  In each instance we find men who discover the truth, Jesus, for themselves but they don't keep him to themselves.  Not only do they go and tell it, they bring someone with them.  Am I doing the same thing?  Am I spreading the truth about Jesus?  Do I seek to bring someone else to meet Him for themselves?

I love the Lord, but I have family members that I have not shared the truth with.  I have not even attempted to bring them to meet Jesus.  Sure, they hear me speak about my relationship with Him, but that urgency of going to “get” them has been lacking.  I have let my concern about our earthly relationship hinder me from taking caring of the greater relationship; the one with Christ.

We have brothers and sisters in this world who are waiting on someone to take them to meet Jesus. We don't need to “beat” them over the head with bible or hold them hostage to prayer.  We simply need to take them to see Jesus.  He will do all of the rest.  He lives within each of us.  So that is a great place to start. 

Father I thank You for your word on this day.  I thank you for the truth of who You are.  Give me the wisdom and courage to tell others about who and to bring them meet You for themselves.  May my words and actions reflect You and lift You up so that all men may be drawn unto You.  In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
