Today in our Gospel lesson we hear so many people sharing the urgent message of the good news with others. First we have John the Baptist pointing to Jesus and saying, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Then we have Jesus himself telling those who were following him from John’s words to “Come and see.” Then one of these men was Andrew, and he went and found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” and brought him to Jesus who named him Peter. We know that this urgent message made a difference in the lives Andrew and Peter who are mentioned in this text, as they became disciples of Jesus. And without the likes of them spreading the good news to others after Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension, we would not be here today.
