The First Disciples, or Sons of the Light
John 1:35-51
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;…


I. ANDREW AND JOHN, attracted towards the Light.

II. SIMON AND JAMES, conducted to the Light.

III. PHILIP AND NATHANAEL, invited by the Light. Lessons:

1. The greatest discovery a soul can make — the Christ

2. The purest felicity a soul can enjoy — fellowship with Christ.

3. The noblest life a soul can lead — following Christ.

4. The loftiest calling a soul can pursue — commending Christ.

5. The grandest philanthropy a soul can practice — bringing men to Christ.

6. The sweetest commendation a soul can receive — to be an Israelite indeed.

7. The sublimest spectacle a soul can see — the Son of Man enthroned in an open heaven.

(T. Whitelaw, D. D.)
