FAITHFUL FRIDAY — STAY WITH HIM

Before Andrew brought Peter to Jesus, something important happened:

Andrew spent time with Jesus himself.

In John 1, Jesus gives Andrew and another disciple a simple invitation:

“Come, and you will see.” — John 1:39

They went—and Scripture says:

“…they stayed with Him that day…”

Then Andrew does something beautiful.

He finds his brother Simon and tells him:

“We have found the Messiah…”

And John 1:42 simply says:

“He brought him to Jesus.”

Don't miss the order.

Andrew stayed with Jesus before Andrew brought someone to Jesus.

💭 Today's Truth:

The more we stay close to Jesus, the more naturally we have something to share about Jesus.

We can become so busy doing things for Jesus that we neglect simply spending time with Jesus.

So this Faithful Friday, do both.

Stay with Him.

Open His Word. Talk with Him. Listen. Obey. Stay close.

Then look around and ask:

Who can I help bring closer to Jesus?

Maybe you pray for them. Maybe you share what Christ has been teaching you. Maybe this weekend you simply say, “Come with me.”

🙏 Today's Prayer:

Jesus, help me stay close to You and abide with You! Keep my relationship with You from becoming merely activity done for You. As I spend time with You, give me eyes to see the people around me who need You, and show me how I can help bring them closer to You. Amen.

If you're in the area, we'd love to have you at Pleasant View Baptist Church in Waynesburg this Sunday. Small Groups begin at 9:30 AM, and Morning Worship begins at 10:45 AM as we continue our ABIDE series.

Stay with Jesus. Then help somebody else move a little closer to Him.
