41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

Message
Eureka is a shout of joy or expression of satisfaction when one finds or discovers something great. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who came to the world to die and to save us from our sins. He was born in a manger, his earthly father was a carpenter and thus the Jews did not recognize Him as the promised Saviour. He began His ministry at the age of thirty – preaching, teaching, and healing. As the ministry progressed, He began to call men who will be His disciples, so that the work could continue after His ascension. The first disciple to follow Christ was Andrew after John the Baptist declared Jesus as the Lamb of God.

Andrew was full of excitement and satisfaction at this discovery and quickly brought the good news to Simon his brother, that he has found the Saviour of the world. The big question you have to answer today is: have you found the Messiah? Have you given Him your loads of sin in exchange for peace with God? You don’t need to delay any longer, Jesus is the greatest discovery of all ages! Whosoever finds Him, finds peace and eternal rest with God hereafter. Bow down your head and surrender your life to Jesus now.

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, I confess you as my Lord and Saviour, take over my life from today.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
