Introduction
Have you ever met someone who would later have a profound impact on your life?
Five Who Followed
Have you ever met someone who would later have a profound impact on your life?
Ex: Matt and Dee McIntosh
Do you remember when you met Jesus?
Today we are going to meet the first five disciples who followed Jesus and what we can learn from their experience.
1st John - Stay Close to Jesus
Andrew and John
Follow is repeated several x’s in John
Peter () “What about him?”
John 21:
Don’t worry about anyone else, stay close to Jesus!
John is a very passionate Christ follower
It’s important to point out that Jesus had to ask Peter “do you love me?”
But John stayed close to Jesus through everything (Transfiguration, last supper, Garden of Gethsemane, at the foot of the cross)
Jesus had to ask Peter “do you love me?”
But John stayed close to Jesus through everything (Transfiguration, last supper, Garden of Gethsemane, cross)
If you’re not close to Jesus you’re going to miss important moments (even hard times)
2nd Andrew - Bring People to Jesus
Matthew, Mark and Luke only mention him by name but John mentions him 3x’s (always doing the same thing, bringing people to Jesus)
Matthew, Mark and Luke only mention him by name but John mentions him 3x’s (always doing the same thing)
Following Jesus is gradual
fishers of men (not a permanent calling yet)
Calls then to be Fishers of men permanently (leave their boats behind)
() calling them to be disciples
As we follow Jesus it should bring us closer and closer and as we walk closer and closer it brings us to a much deeper level
Vs.
38 “what do you want?” (This is the same question asked of everyone who choses to follow Jesus)
“Following” (70-80 x’s in John)
(Remain, dwell, abide)
The disciples answer “we want to live every moment with you” “ we want to dwell with you!”
Jesus’ follow up vs. 39
Andrew - once you’ve met Jesus and truly love him you’ll bring people to him ( - Andrew brings Jesus the little boys lunch) ( - Philip brings Greeks to Andrew)
Who are you bringing to Jesus?
3rd Peter - Realize That Jesus Sees Things in you That You Don’t See in Yourself
John 1:
Sin has a way of obscuring who God created us to be and what he’s created us to do!
Peter realized this … Preached
Peter realized this when he preaching in Acts “save yourself from this crooked and depraved generation” (scoliosis)
"Crooked” (scoliosis)
Andrew starts with his family
“You are Simon son of John(?)” (Question)
Petras - A Rock
Every time Peter reverts back to his old self he’s referred to as Simon.
At the last supper the disciples argued over who was the greatest …
“Simon Simon …”
Peter didn’t see himself as Jesus did.
Jesus knew that He could use him to establish His church!
The first 12 chapters of Acts is all about Peter and his ministry
4th Philip - Don’t Miss the Big Picture
(vs.
43-44)
(vs.
43-44)
Philip is a number crunching guy / doesn’t have faith yet
Insight into Philips natural instincts
What does this teach us?
It’s possible to be a follower of Christ and miss what God is doing.
We walk by faith and not by sight
5th Nathaniel - God Sees You In The Quiet Moments
(vs.
45-46)
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
Nathaniel is from Cana in Galilee
Cana and Nazareth are both small towns
(Ex: Jonestown vs. Fredricksburg)
We don’t know why Nathaniel makes this comment.
The only reason we can conclude is that he’s at least interested in this Jesus.
Vs. 47-48
Nathanael’s question, How do you know me?, demonstrates that Jesus’ brief summary of his character had hit the mark.
Jesus replies by showing that his supernatural knowledge extends beyond this: he ‘saw’ Nathanael while he was still under the fig tree.
What Nathanael was doing under the fig tree is open to conjecture.
In the Old Testament the fig tree is sometimes almost a symbol for ‘home’ or for prosperity (e.g.; ; ); occasionally in rabbinic literature its shade is associated with a place for meditation and prayer (SB 2. 371).
But John’s chief point here is Jesus’ supernatural knowledge (cf.
2:4; 4:17–18; 6:70; 9:3; 11:4, 11; 13:10–11, 38), not Nathanael’s activity.

John 1:50-
Nathaniel, you’ve not seen anything yet!
What you’ve experienced so far in your walk with the Lord is nothing like what you’ll see him do in the days and years to come!
