John the Baptist introduced Jesus of Nazareth to Israel and to history. John appeared in the Judaean wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance and preparation, quoting the Old Testament prophet Isaiah: "Make straight the way of the Lord." When challenged concerning his identity and authority, the Baptizer was humble but direct: "No!" No, I'm not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet. And though my baptism anticipates the Messiah, I'm not even fit to untie His sandals and wash His feet." And then, a Man walked out of the crowds and straight towards John. The King's herald lifted his voice: "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." … "This is the Son of God." The crowds undoubtedly pushed forward and strained to catch a glimpse of this rabbi from Galilee. Numbered among the crowd were some friends from Galilee – disciples of John. But soon to be followers of the Lamb!
Let's pick up that narrative in John 1:35-51. This text begins as John the Baptist launches an evangelism avalanche! 1. It starts with the Baptizer, and Andrew and John (vv.35-40). 2. From Andrew to Simon Peter (vv.40-42). 3. From Jesus to Philip (vv.43-44). 4. From Philip to Nathaniel (vv.45-46). 5. And in every encounter – we find the Lord Jesus (vv.47-51)!
