THE MAN WITH EVERYTHING

JOHN 1:29

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. HE HAD EVERYTHING HE NEEDED

1. A GREAT SAVIOUR [1:35-41]

2. A GREAT PRIORITY [1:41]

3. A GREAT BROTHER [1:41-42]

 

II. HE HAD EVERYTHING HE COULD WANT

1. A LAMB-FOCUSED MENTOR [1:6-8, 15-37]

2. A LIKE-MINDED FRIEND [1:43-46]

3. A LIFE-LONG MISSION [1:41, 6:8-9, 12:20-23]

- One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

- And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

 

III. HE HAD EVERYTHING HE NEVER DREAMED

1. A NEW PEACE [Rev. 1:9-10]

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

2. A NEW PATH [Mt. 4:18-19a]

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me…

3. A NEW PURPOSE [Mt. 4:19-20]

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
