As we saw two scenes unfold yesterday with John the baptist, today, we will read of two more scenes where Jesus calls some followers. It might be helpful to underline or make a list of all the people so far who have confessed that Jesus is the Christ, Son of God.
- First, we saw John (the author) writing this truth
- Then we heard John the Baptist confess this truth yesterday.
- Today, we will hear John the Baptist reaffirm what he said yesterday
- AND now, others will join in declaring Jesus to be the Messiah, God's Son:
- Andrew told Peter (v. 41) that they had found the Messiah
- Philip told Nathanael (v. 45) that Jesus was the long awaited One of whom Moses and the prophets spoke.

- Reading: John 1:35-51
- Memory passage: John 1:1-14
- Memory verse: John 1:36 "Behold the Lamb of God."
- Song for the week: In Christ Alone
- Activity: My children and I are writing down a list of the characters who are believing in Jesus as the Son of God. We are also drawing their picture (in felt - cutting them out) and putting them up on the wall so they can see and remember the witnesses we have that declare to us that Jesus is the Christ, the Son and Lamb of God.
- Meditation: see this hymn text for meditation today
