“Connecting Seekers with the Savior”

“Connecting Seekers with the Savior”

Acts 8:30-35
John 1:38-39 read, “When Jesus turned and saw them following him, he asked, “What are
you looking for?” They said, “Rabbi, where are you staying?” (“Rabbi” means “Teacher.”) He
answered, “Come and see.” So the two men went with Jesus and saw where he was staying
and stayed there with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.” (NCV) These
verses record words spoken by Jesus to two of his followers. There are still countless
individuals, on a daily basis, seeking to learn more about Jesus Christ. Children of God can
be greatly involved to help connect seekers to the Master. This lesson is designed to share
ways believers can connect seekers to Jesus.
