In this episode, Dr. Andy Davis talks about what a disciple is, how John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, and the calling of the first disciples including Philip and Nathanael.
In John 1:35-51, John the Baptist’s disciples leave and follow Jesus upon hearing that He is the Lamb of God. This the beginning of the Christian Church as Jesus continued to grow his list of disciples. At the end of the chapter, Jesus promised his disciples that they would see heaven opened and angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
The next day, John the Baptist was in the Jordan River area, and saw Jesus again. For the second time he called Him “The Lamb of God.” John’s disciples left John and began to follow Jesus. This was the beginning of the Christian church. Jesus continued to add men to his growing list of disciples. Philip and Nathaniel are added, with Philip immediately inviting Nathaniel. Nathaniel was skeptical at first, but Jesus overcame his skepticism by the power of his knowledge. Jesus promised his disciples that they would see heaven opened, and angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
