2. Following Jesus
“Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus.

Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.” —John 1:43-46
Jesus kept turning up the heat by defining what it means to follow him. He said you are his disciple if you:
Obey his word (John 8:31)
Love each other (John 13:35)
Bear much fruit (John 15:8)
