John 1:43-51 – Jesus calls Philip and Nathanael
- “A Master class in Recruitment Jesus”
- Even Jesus could not fulfill His calling alone; he needed help.
- The phrase ‘A Pioneer’ is an oxymoron – one person can change the world but they can never do it on their own.
- From the end of yesterdays reading to the end of todays, Jesus gives us a master class in recruiting people to His dream. Something we as leaders either as parents or as ministers can learn from.
- Recruit with a BIG dream - John 1:35-51
- Make your dream really clear - John 1:41
- Be prepared to make sacrifices – John 1:43 & Matthew 20:22
- Be the personal embodiment of the vision – John 1:46 & John 14:5
- Empower those you recruit - John 1:42
- Recruit their vision – John 1:41,45 & Matthew 4:19
- Recruit the right people - John1:47
- I use this passage in more detail to unpack some of those principles in seminars I teach.
- Jesus was the greatest leader of all time and He is the person we must look at before all others as our best example.
