John introduced two of his disciples to Jesus as the Lamb of God.

John’s two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus right away.

Jesus asked the two – “What are you looking for, or what do you seek.” They wanted to know where Jesus was staying so they could go there. They were seeking Christ first. Matthew 6:33

Andrew’s first faith act after meeting Jesus was to find his brother Simon and introduce him to the Messiah!

Jesus let Simon know He knew him. Jesus looked at Simon and gave him a new name.

Philip had a Divine appointment with Jesus when He traveled to Galilee. Jesus called Philip as a disciple. Philip obeyed.

Philip immediately invited Nathaneal to meet Jesus. Nathaneal was initially skeptical.

Jesus demonstrated to Nathaneal He was the Son of God. Nathanael confessed and believed Jesus as Son of God and King of Israel. Romans 10:9-13

Jesus promised these new disciples greater spiritual experiences as they put their full faith and trust in Him.

The Pharisees sent official messengers to John the Baptist to ask who he was. John fearlessly proclaimed Jesus as Lord to his culture and cultures leadership.

John did not take upon himself any title, except the one God gave him through the prophet Isaiah 40:3-5. He was a messenger – “I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘make straight the way of the LORD,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

John’s lifestyle put the message of Jesus first.

John strongly taught he baptized with water. God revealed to him the Son of God would baptize with the Holy Spirit.

John was able to see with spiritual eyes.

John identified publicly – Jesus as the Lamb of God.

John introduced the multitudes to Jesus.

Two disciples heard John and followed Jesus.

John had no identity crisis. John knew who he was in relationship with God. God revealed to him who Jesus was. John’s job was to help people meet Jesus.

Do you know who you are in relationship with God?

Do you see your life through spiritual eyes?

Have you personally met Jesus?

Since mankind has been on the planet, there have been those who chose righteousness and likewise those who chose unrighteousness. The Holy Scriptures teach us God never changes. Today we see God’s keeping power throughout the Believer’s life.

Jesus’ promised His disciples – Blessings are for those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake. That is a here and now promise.

Jesus promised the persecuted righteous would inherit the kingdom of heaven. That is a hereafter promise.

Jesus said the blessing will come when the world criticizes you in abusive or angrily insulting manners for His name sake.

Jesus wants us to understand persecution had great spiritual value. We become more like Christ. (John 15:18-21)

Jesus gave His disciples the truth about coming persecution because He knew it would give them the opportunity to form Kingdom character. (James 1:2-4)

Jesus wants us to live the whole of life seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness. We must keep our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Paul would remind us that even through the persecution in this life, we can and we must press on. (2 Corinthians 11:24; Romans 10:1)

Jesus reminds all generations – a great reward awaits the faithful Christian in heaven.

Are you living righteously?

Is your life showing evidence you follow Christ, even in the times of persecution?

Are you praying for God to use you in great ways?

Genuine peace begins with a Genuine Source, His name is Jesus. Isaiah 9:6 refers to Jesus as the Prince of Peace. So a peacemaker’s resume must begin with the Source of Peace – Jesus. Salvation is found in no other name but the Name of Jesus. (Acts 4:10-12)

The Scripture tells us we may have peace with God because of the shed blood of Jesus. When He took our sins on the cross, He took our sins on the cross! (Romans 5:1-5)

In today’s focal passage, Jesus made a promise to those who are truly peacemakers – those who are spiritually secure – they shall be called the sons of God.

Can we really fathom the greatness of this promise? God calls us His children!

If then we are His children, how show we live?

The Holy Spirit leads us. (John 14:25-27)

The Holy Scriptures teach us. (Romans 12:1,2; Galatians 5:16,17)

The goal of this life is not world peace. Our flesh, the worlds system, and Satan’s team war against us daily. Our fight is to live in peace, be His ambassadors, and help others be reconciled to Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:16-21)

God is an ever-present Help to the peacemaker. (Isaiah 26:3; Matthew 28:18-20)

The children of God will walk daily in wisdom. When they sin, they run quickly to the throne of their Heavenly Father for forgiveness. God loves His children. (John 3:16; John 1:12,13; James 3:13-18)

Are you walking in peace with God today?
