Repetition

Read Jn 1.29-37

It took two days for the disciples to get it. On day one, John announces “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” The disciples don’t budge (vs29). The next day, two of them get it and begin to follow Jesus (vs35-37). As Disciplemakers, don’t be surprised when people don’t figure it out on the first go round. In fact make a plan to come back to the important things over and over again. Paul had learned this principle in his teaching, “Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.” (Philippians 3:1) Remember, our Forgetories are better than our memories. FJ19
