#3: “Jesus Calls His First Disciples”
SCRIPTURE: John 1:35-51
INTRO:
As I pointed out last week, John’s gospel account isn’t synoptic. That is,
it’s not like Matthew, Mark, and Luke. He begins the story of Jesus with an adult
Jesus.
Hindsight tells us that Matthew’s account was aimed at the Jews, Mark’s
at the Romans, and Luke’s at the Greeks. That leaves John’s account for the
rest of the world and for us today.
We’re not even through the first chapter, and we’re at the part where
Jesus calls His first disciples.
