One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter). (John 1:40-42 ESV)
So many thoughts (and songs) come to mind in this little paragraph. Like the song that says repeatedly "But You love me anyway..." Christ knows who we are, and who we are going to be, and He loves us still. No wonder Peter stuck so close to His side (well, MOST of the time.)
The second song that comes back is Love Song's "Two Hands", with a similar tag line: "With one hand reach out to Jesus, and with the other... bring a friend." What a natural, and supernatural, response to being introduced to Christ - introduce Him to someone else.
Two songs to take me through the day.
