A disciple is born.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves following the wrong leader. This can take many forms such as business, or sports, or even teachers. But in reality we are all following something or somebody, even if it is ourselves. We have been talking a lot about what it means to be a disciple lately, because that is what we are called to be.

In John 1:35-42, Jesus calls his first disciples, Andrew, Peter and another. But when we look at this, we see the first disciple is already the follower of John the Baptist. What makes Andrew change rabbi's? The answer is found in the verse 35...when John said, "look, the lamb of God!" At this the two men followed Jesus.

When we hear the truth, are we immediately drawn to it? Are we willing to look at what we are following and say "that isn't God?" But even more so, are we willing to leave the other "rabbis" behind and follow after Jesus, even when we don't know where that will lead? Andrew was willing to do that, and he even brought his brother with him. This year, will you follow Jesus? Will you bring somebody else to show them Jesus? This is the start of being a disciple.
