John 1:35-51

John 1:35–51 introduces us to the very first followers of Jesus. Here we see ordinary people—encountering Jesus in ways that would change their lives forever. From John the Baptist pointing his disciples to Christ, to Jesus calling Philip and Nathanael with a simple, yet powerful, invitation: “Follow me”—this passage shows us how discipleship begins: with curiosity, recognition, and trust. We’ll explore how Jesus meets people where they are, reveals Himself as the Messiah, and calls us into a relationship that transforms everything.
