Last Sunday we discovered the importance of baptism to walk us onto the Way of Jesus. This morning we will continue to learn about what it means to be on the Way as we read The Gospel of John 1:29-42. There are some essential life lessons that treading the Way of Jesus seeks to teach us including: humility, discovery, and how to recognize God's presence in the midst of our busy lives. Walking in the Way of Jesus does more than teach us, it transforms us. As you consider how the Way of Jesus is transforming ou, I hope the following study/discussion questions will be helpful in your reflections:

1. John the Baptist teaches us that there is a difference between simply 'knowing Jesus' and 'recognizing Jesus'. What is the difference, and when can you say that you went from 'knowing' to 'recognizing'?

2. Following Jesus on the Way means surrender. John the Baptist surrendered his followers to Jesus as well as his fame. What is God calling you to surrender on the Way?

3. Faith is a journey and not a final destination (at least in this life). Jesus invites us to "come and see". He gives us a new name to live into (like he did with Peter). How are you doing on the journey with Jesus? What are you discovering about yourself, others, and Him?
