Would you follow Jesus?

This message takes us through John chapter one, where we encounter the profound moment when John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. What's remarkable is how quickly the disciples responded—they simply heard 'Behold the Lamb of God' and immediately followed Jesus. This challenges us to examine our own response: we have the complete written Word, we know more about Jesus than those first disciples did, yet do we follow Him as readily? The message confronts our prejudices through Nathanael's question, 'Can anything good come from Nazareth?' reminding us that we all carry biases—whether based on geography, race, or background—yet God saved us when we were worthless, lost sinners. Perhaps most comforting is the revelation that Jesus sees us completely. He saw Nathanael under the fig tree before they ever met, just as He sees everything we do, even what we try to hide. Rather than being threatening, this becomes deeply reassuring when we understand that God's omniscience comes with His promise: 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' Through the story of Jacob's ladder and Joseph's trials, we're reminded that God is present in every circumstance—the good, the bad, and the seemingly catastrophic—working all things together for good for those who love Him.
