John 1:35-40 ESV

This text of scripture is often overlooked. How many times have you heard a preacher talk about Andrew, the one disciple of Christ who was formerly a disciple of John the Baptist? If it wasn't for the fact that John the Baptist heralded Christ, we might be only reading about Jesus' eleven disciples. What a picture of true discipleship! John announced to his followers that Jesus was the lamb of God. Without reservation they transferred their discipleship to a new Master, Jesus. This shows that John had been diligently preparing his followers for the soon arrival of Christ. And this shows that his followers were submitted to his tutelage.

So, we learn that true disciple-making is teaching people to follow hard after Christ and getting out of their way!
