Evangelizing others doesn\\u2019t need to be super organized, flashy, or gimmicky. In fact, it probably works better when it isn\\u2019t. Evangelizing is simply having our eyes opened by Jesus, sitting under His teaching, and inviting others to come and see for themselves who this Jesus is. You\\u2019ve heard me say it before, but I\\u2019ll say it again: Eighty-six percent of Christians started attending church because a friend invited them. In other words, invite your friends to come here. Get them in the door and in the seats. Then let Jesus do His work on them through His Word. That\\u2019s it!

Andrew followed Jesus because he heard the Baptizer say, \\u201cBehold, the Lamb of God.\\u201d But Jesus is the One who sought and saved Andrew by His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus is the God who comes to us. He brings us into His fold with His invitation, \\u201cCome and see.\\u201d And Christ teaches us giving us eyes to see. Then we, in turn, joyfully invite others to join us to be where Jesus promises to meet with us and save us.

We have found the Messiah, the Savior, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Come and see.'
