John 1:40-42 NIV

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.

INVEST: Andrew’s excitement about finding Jesus led him to bring his brother Peter to meet the Messiah. This simple act of sharing his discovery had a profound impact. Similarly, our enthusiasm for Christ can inspire those close to us. Don’t underestimate the power of a personal invitation. Who in your life needs to hear about Jesus? Share your story and invite them to church or a Bible study.
