Have you ever considered your spiritual family lineage? I’m sure you know who led you to Christ. Was it your parents, a pastor, a friend? Who led them to the Lord? Could you trace it all the way back to Peter, James, John, or Thaddeus?
I’d never thought about tracing it to the disciples until I read John 17:20 this morning, “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their (Jesus’ disciples) word;” Those who are now following Jesus have been influenced to follow Him because of one of the 12 disciples. They followed Him. They obeyed Him by taking the Good News to all of the world. And then their disciples shared…and on and on until we heard the Good News that Jesus came to save us from sin!
Father, thank You for Your disciples who have been faithful through the ages—until I heard and followed. Help me to faithfully be sharing the gospel with others. In Jesus’ name, amen.
