What Does John 1:35 Mean?

Another day dawns in this opening week, and the frame narrows: John again, now with just two of his followers. One of them, verse 40 will tell us, is Andrew; the other goes unnamed. Nothing in the verse hints that everything in these two lives is about to change forever.

Great movements often begin this small, a teacher, two listeners, an ordinary morning by a river. Within a day these men will have found the Messiah and started bringing others. When God is about to redirect a life, the scenery rarely announces it; the quietest mornings can hold the largest turns.
