SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
John 1:35-42
John pointed the disciples towards Jesus as the one they should follow. Remember the people in your life who have pointed you in a new and life-giving direction? Perhaps in some cases this may have involved directing you away from your association with them—e.g. leaving home, changing jobs, etc.
Accepting an invitation to ‘Come and see’ may be part of exploring a new path in life. When has this been so for you? Who issued you the invitation? What benefits came to you from accepting the invitation?
Andrew did not keep the good news to himself but also invited his brother to join him in following Jesus. What is your experience of receiving, or giving and invitation to join in some worthwhile venture?

Jesus looked at Peter and could see what he would become. Who have been the people who have been able to name for you your potential? For whom have you been able to do this?
