JESUS NAMES HIS FIRST DISCIPLES

We read how Jesus asked Peter and others to follow him and how they dropped everything and went with him. At first we wondered if a person would just drop everything for someone who walked by and said "follow me" but we remembered that Andrew had seen Jesus with John the Baptist and told Peter that he was the Messiah (John 1:41) and, as one of our members pointed out, it was typical for a person ask a Rabbi if they could follow him and here we see a Rabbi (as identified by Andrew) inviting them to follow him; it would have been a great honor.
