For the members, family and friends of Frisco City United Methodist Church
The calling of the twelve disciples gives us won-
derful insights into the business of how men
and women are reached for Christ. According
to the Gospel of John, only one of the first five
disciples was reached directly by Christ. That was Philip. Jesus
said to him, Follow me (John 1:43). The other four were
reached by someone elses witness to Christ.
Andrew and an unnamed disciple, perhaps John, came as
the result of John the Baptists witness. Simon came because
of his brother Andrew, and Nathaniel came because of his
friend Philip. You and I have significant roles to play in the ad-
vancement of the kingdom of God. If people around us are go-
ing to find Christ, it will happen only as we hear a winsome
witness to Him. These first disciples were not ministers. They
were laypersons who had been impressed by someone elses
testimony about Christ. They had not known Christ long when
they became soul-winners, and they turned first to their family
and friends. We should begin our witness for Christ by reach-
ing out to those to whom we are closest. They are our first re-
sponsibility.
What are you doing to bring others to Christ? Our lives
and our lips must speak of Him. And we should begin with
those we love.
