To those who are elect

exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus,

Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

Friends, welcome back. Greetings to you in the name of Jesus.

These are the words of the Lord God.

In these writings we have been reading from the Bible, on this journey together, to be sure, we have been reading the written words of the Lord God.

The words given by God, to the people whom the Lord chose, the Lord called and anointed, appointed, and sent to proclaim, and write down his words.

We have many copies of the many spoken words of God, spoken by many prophets of God, and now, also the living words of God, the living Son of God.

Jesus.

John chapter one, verse one through 5. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, he was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

In him was life and the life was the light of man. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Lord Jesus,

Thank you for giving us another day to continue praying, and reading through your scriptures, and continue learning to follow you.

To listen and follow you.

Friends, we have completed the reading of the gospel of John, and now we prepare for another journey of reading through the other gospels and the scriptures.

However, before we continue on this journey.

I would like to pay attention to some specific conversations in this gospel of John.

Today, for example, in John chapter one.

The conversation, this conversation between Jesus and the 2 disciples of John the Baptist, a conversation that appears to sound like a brief invitation to follow Jesus.

In John chapter one, verse 35 through verse 42.

The next day, again, John the Baptist was standing with 2 of his disciples, and John looked at Jesus as Jesus walked by.

John said, behold, the lamb of God.

The 2 disciples heard John say this, and they followed Jesus. They followed Jesus.

Jesus turned and saw, and saw, the 2 disciples following him.

And Jesus said to them,

What are you seeking?

And they said to Jesus, Rabbi, which means teacher.

They ask Jesus, where are you staying?

Jesus said to the 2 disciples, come, and you will see. Friends, what an invitation from Jesus.

What? An invitation.

Jesus said to them, come, and you will see.

So they came and saw where Jesus was then, and they stayed with Jesus that day, for it was about the 10th hour.

One of the 2 who heard John speak and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Andrew 1st found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, We have found the Messiah, which means Christ.

He brought, Simon to Jesus,

Jesus looked at him and said, you are Simon, the son of John, you shall be called Cephas, which means Peter.

Friends, here is a conversational question to consider as part of our conversation today.

In light of what we have read through the gospel of John and the other scriptures, like Acts and 1st Peter.

As we continue.

So based on what we ourselves may have experience, in conversations with others, and even what we have read, what would be your personal answer or inference or opinion or observation?

About these questions, are we called to be Christians, or are we called to be born again?

Or are we called to be followers of Jesus Christ, or are we called to all of the above mentioned?

Regarding Christians, t
