• FINDING THE CHRIST
Memory Selection: "We Here
found the M —inh, which in, being
interpreted, the Christ.”—John 1:,
41. Lesson Text: John 1:35*49.
The Gospel of John was written
long after the other three gospels
and omits much of the contents.
However, John supplies certain
details connected with the life
of Jesus which are not to be
found in the earlier accounts.
For example, John tells of the
visit to John the Baptist of tho
priests from Jerusalem. These
I leaders did not come in an atti
tude of truth-seeking, but rather j
to place John under their critical .
scrutiny. The same spirit on the
part of the religious leaders was
later manifested in their attitude
toward Jesus himself, for they
rejected him and refused to ac
cept his truth, because it ran
counter to their own teachings.
When the religious leaden
asked John the Baptist about
himself, tha great prophet was
quick to deny that he was tha
promiad Messiah, but just as
prompt to declare that he was
his forerunner. John told those
who came to him that he was
not even worthy to unfasten the
shoe laces of the coming Messiah.
On the following day, John th©
Baptist was standing with two
, of his disciples when Jesus passed
by. Whereupon, John made it
clear to these disciples that Jesus
was the promised Messiah, when
he declared, “Behold, the Lamb
of God, which taketh away the
sin df the world,” W'e should
appreciate the greatness of spirit
of this rugged prophet, who was
not only willing but anxious to
play a subordinate role to the
Master and used his own influ
ence and power to persuade even
his own followers to turn to Him.
Andrew and John, hearing the
words of the Baptist, turned and
followed Jesus.
Noticing the two men following
him, Jesus directed a question as
to the^r motive and desire. “What
seek yer” This is a question
which could be asked of every
i Christian today. The answer to
it would indicate the spiritual
state of any follower of Christ.
For, there are many professing
Christians who claim to follow
the prophet of Nazareth, but for
purposes other than spiritual
growth and grace. Jesus is not‘
| pleased to have such false follow- (
ers misrepresent him to mankind. ’
Andrew, after a long conversa- '
tion with Jesus, set out to find his
brother, Simon Peter, and, im- j
mediately testified that he had
found the Christ. Satisfied with
Jesus himself, Andrew was not
ashamed to testify about him to
his closest relative—his brother.
This is oftentimes a hard thing
for one to do—some find it much
easier to win strangers than their
own loved ones. The next day,*
as Jesus was going into Galilee,
he saw Philip and invited him to
become his disciple. “Follow me,” j
was the terse' and tender invita- :
tion to discipleship. It was

icceptance is found in the only
record of his labors.

Philip immediately contacted
Nathaniel and told him that the
long looked-for Messiah had been
Found in Jesus of Nasereth. Na
thaniel knew all the prophecies
concerning the promised Messiah
snd also knew of the contempt
in which the Jews held Nazareth
snd Galilee, so he naturally asked,
“Can any good thing come out
of Nazareth?” Answering, Philip
said, "Come and see." His linger
ing suspicion of the correctness
of his friend’s report was com
pletely banished when he came
into Jesus’ presence.
Seeing him approaching, Jesus
said, "Behold an Israleite indeed,
in whom U no guUe!" What •
wonderful tribute to • moat Na
thaniel waa surprised that Jesus
knew him and expreseed - Ms
amassment. Jesus said, “Before
that Philip called thee, when thou
west under the fig tree, 'I saw
thee." Nathaniel recognised the
diety and messiahship of Jesus
in this declaration and acknowl
edged them when he said: “Thou
are the Son of God, thou are the
King of Israel.”
Through personal discovery,
these four men contacted Jesus
and, as a result committed their
lives to him. Happy for always
are those who find him and,
through faith, yield their lives to
ihim.
