The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.(John 1:35-37 ESV)
With five simple words, John looses two faithful followers to Jesus. That's the way it was to be. John had faithfully fulfilled His calling as forerunner so that without hesitation these two gravitated toward the Messiah. This was not a short-lived change in direction. They spent the day, then the night, which turned into a few years, and ultimately a lifetime following Jesus.
Praise God for those who have lead us to truth to follow Him. And what a challenge to us: to share enough truth with others so they come to recognize Christ as Savior, then follow Him one day at a time, for a lifetime, and an eternity.
