The Power of Your Testimony

First Baptist Owasso

Chris Wall • John 1:35-42

Andrew was the first disciple to turn to Jesus. He was quick to tell those closest to him what he had seen and heard. After meeting Jesus, Andrew's eyes were opened to who Jesus really was. Jesus was the living Son of God. His life was so transformed, he immediately brought his brother to meet Jesus. Here is an interesting fact about Andrew: Whenever you find Andrew referenced in John’s gospel, he is bringing someone to Jesus. He brings his brother in this passage. He brings the lad with the loaves and fishes in John 6:8. He brings the Greeks who wanted to see Jesus in John 12. When it comes to Andrew, we have no record of him preaching sermons, but we do see him living his life and sharing his testimony one-on-one. Andrew is the best “MY ONE” seeker we see in Scripture. Every follower of Christ is called to notice people and live as a passionate witness for Christ. Our witness should be most effective among the people we know the most. Do you have a “My ONE”? How are you engaging them? Is there anything hindering your witness for Christ? What barriers do you need to overcome?
