John 1:41

John 1:41 says, He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.  Of the two of John the Baptist disciples went with Jesus, one of them, Andrew, was Simon Peter's brother. He went first to his brother, Andrew told Simon Peter, his brother, "We have found the Messiah," which being interpreted is the Christ.  As followers of Christ, we need to first go to our own family once we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.  Andrew and the other disciple, who is not identified, had been with John, but when John identified Jesus as the Messiah, they accepted the fact.  They still didn't know everything about why He came, but they accepted that He was the Promised One Who would save His people.  When we come to Christ, we cannot know everything about being His follower.  They spent time with Him and understood enough to know that He was the One they needed to follow and learn from.  As we spend time with Jesus, through the work of the Holy Spirit, we learn more and more about being His follower.  Andrew could not keep the good news to himself, so he went to Peter.  We should not be able to keep the gospel to ourselves.  We should be excited to share the gospel, first with our family and friends and then with anyone we meet.  If anything good of significance happens in our life, we want to share it with everyone.  Nothing better can ever happen than becoming a follower of Christ.
