John 1:19-42
John B saw his ministry as preparing people for Jesus. He recognized that Jesus was so far above him that he wasn’t even worthy to be a servant taking off Jesus’ sandals. We should have John’s humble attitude about Jesus worthiness, and that we don’t even deserve servanthood. Being in ministry is an honor, but it is not bestowed on us because we deserve it.
When John encountered Jesus early in his ministry, he directed those with him to see who Jesus was, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” Andrew and another of John’s disciples heard this and left following John to follow Jesus. Now that’s success in discipleship! We are to direct those we lead to wholehearted allegiance to Christ, not to us. Andrew’s next step was also a discipleship success. He went to find his brother Simon and brought him to Jesus.
