Jesus is baptized and begins inviting disciple to follow him.
The Jewish faithful looked to John the baptist as a special man of God, maybe even a prophet. John points God’s spotlight on Jesus, the “Lamb of God”.
God has set the stage for Jesus, the Messiah, to begin public ministry. Now is the time!
In v.29 John the Baptist reminds us that the world is sinful and in need of a Savior.
John the Baptist recognized who Jesus was and what he came to do. I should as well.
Be like Andrew, who believed what John said about Jesus. Andrew began following Jesus and pointing others to him along the way.
Father, help my belief in the person and work of Jesus move my passion to follow him daily and help others do the same.
