There's a guy in the Bible named John the Baptist. John did some great stuff: he baptized people with water, spread the news about the coming Savior, and even ended up getting persecuted for who he was and what he believed in. John had some followers/disciples. No doubt John was a good teacher and did a lot for his followers. But in John 1:35, when they saw Jesus walk by and John himself said there, "Look there is the Lamb of God" his disciples quickly left a good thing for a GREAT thing.
It's so easy for us as believers to get comfortable with good stuff, that we totally miss out on some of the great things that God has in store for us. We can get comfortable with our group of friends and comfortable with the job that we have. When that happens it's easy for us not to recognize that God is calling us to a great life. Jesus himself said that He came to give life, not just an average, ordinary, good life, but an abundant and GREAT life.
Make a commitment with me to not miss out on the GREAT things because we really like the good things in life. God maybe calling you to a different type of ministry to different people at your school or work. Don't miss out on being a blessing to other people because what you're doing now is good. What would have happen to John's disciples if they wouldn't had left John to follow Jesus?
