We see a great kind of pure and unadulterated faith in these first few disciples that chose to follow Jesus. Did they find Him by chance? No! John the Baptizer's message led them to Him. Andrew and Philip went to tell and fetch another. And ultimately, Jesus found them.

In Sunday schools all over we sing the song of Zacchaeus who climbed the Sycamore tree, then Jesus told him to come down because He's coming to Zach's house for tea. Well, what we miss is the importance of repentance in Zach's life. Let's look again at the significance of what happened that day!

If we have the truth abiding in us, we have eternal life. If we have the truth abiding in us, we shall not be deceived by the antichrists. If we have the truth abiding in us, we are going to live righteously!

John the Baptizer's testimony about the Light ends with two important points: behold the Son of God & testify about the Son of God. His whole existence can be summed up in these two aspects. That's what he did! How many of us can say the same?

One of the most remarkable moments of Christ's ministry is His inclusion of children in the Kingdom of God. In fact, not just their inclusion, but declaring that the Kingdom belongs to such as them! Let's learn some lessons about childlike faith from this narrative now!

John gives us a simple yet profound description of the spirit of the antichrist: the denial of Jesus Christ the Son. Many will leave the Church because of their inability to confess the Son. At the same time, every true believer is anointed with the Holy Spirit. We have this wonderful assurance that He is always with us and guiding us in truth!

Do we love the Father, or do we love the world? It's that simple. If we love the Father, at what point do we draw the line between assurance and self-righteousness if we are doing the right things?

The Pharisees wanted to know why John was baptizing and on what authority he was doing so. Again, John characteristically diverts the attention away from himself and to the Messiah. Let's have a look at his response and the details underlining it!

Why was Mary doing the right thing when Martha was also trying to be good by her service? It's all about the Word. Let's learn some lessons about the Word from this interesting contrast between the sisters!

One more characteristic of being in the Light is loving one another with Christlike love. If we neglect to do this, John says we are scandalous!
