GO TELL SOMEBODY!

Text: John 1:35 – 42 “Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37And the two disciples (Andrew) heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.”

Intro: We need to be like Andrew. He is one of the top ten Christians in the Bible. He has been called the first missionary because he brought his brother Simon Peter, to Jesus. Andrew Clubs have been in existence for many years. As soon as Andrew got saved he had to bring someone to Jesus. He began with his own family. When the reality of Heaven, Hell, and Eternity hits you, you have to tell somebody! You can’t keep it to yourself.

I. TO GO AND TELL SOMEBODY REQUIRES A PERSONAL FAITH
A. Andrew heard John Speak, “Behold the Lamb of God!”
B. John pointed over to Christ
C. This is one of the first lessons in soul winning
D. We must point people to Jesus, not ourselves
E. Andrew spent some time with Jesus
F. Andrew followed Jesus
G. Andrew received Jesus as his Saviour

II. TO GO AND TELL SOMEBODY REQUIRES DIRECTION AND DEDICATION
A. Andrew brought his own brother to Jesus
B. Without argument, without hesitation, he told Peter that he had found the Messiah, the Christ, “And he brought him to Jesus.”
C. Who told Andrew to go after his brother?
D. He was saved and with the joy of the Lord in his heart he went to Peter and brought him to Jesus.
E. In John 6 a great multitude followed Jesus. He asked Philip about buying bread. Jesus knew what He would do, but He was questioning His disciples for a reason.
F. In the midst of His questioning, “Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?”
G. Andrew knew that this would not feed the crowd but his faith in Christ led him to believe that the Lord would do something about it.

III. TO GO AND TELL SOMEBODY IS A REQUIREMENT!
A. The Great Commission was given by Jesus to all believers!
B. Mat. 28:19,20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
C. We will stand before God one day!
D. 1 Cor. 3:12 “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” For all of Eternity.
E. Proverbs 11:30 “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

IV. THE GREATEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD IS SOUL WINNING!
A. Andrew’s greatest work was bringing his brother to Christ.
B. In John 1 we have Andrew the soul winner; Peter the sinner, Christ the Saviour.
C. When Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost, 3,000 souls were saved!
D. When Peter was cast into prison he gave his testimony and witnessed with boldness
E. You never know what great preacher or evangelist might come from your witness.

V. There are three things we must know.
1. We must know the lostness of men. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Every man without Christ is lost and undone-the rich, the poor, the high, the low, the young and old.
2. We must know the power of the Saviour. He can save to the uttermost all who will come to Him.
3. We must know the willingness of God.
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
Acts 16:30, 31 “Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

Conclusion: Andrew was not a great preacher or a great singer. He was an ordinary man that did one simple thing – he introduced others to Christ. Have you told your brother or sister about Christ? Have you witnessed to your mother or father?
