John 1:29-34 John Testifies About Jesus
²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ³¹ I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”

³² Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. ³³ And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ ³⁴ I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”

Living God’s Word: 
Today, all around us, people are looking for someone to give them security in an insecure world. God has called us to point them to Christ and show them how Christ satisfies their need. The people we encounter must hear it first from us, we are God’s instruments of mercy and grace. We cannot pass on to others what we do not possess and confess ourselves. It should be our hearts desire to introduce others to Jesus.
Who do you know in your life should you be sharing your faith in Christ? Let God lead as you take a bold step today in sharing your faith journey.

Words to Live By: 
John the Baptist testifies that Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world—the very Son of God, on whom the Holy Spirit rested at His Baptism. Today, the Lord gives His Spirit in Holy Baptism. To regard Christian Baptism as a symbolic act is to despise a precious treasure. In Baptism, Jesus Christ has taken away our sin, and the Spirit daily assures us of His merciful goodness toward us.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, send Your Spirit with Your gracious pardon, and silence my accusing conscience. Open my heart to share the Good News of Your salvation with others You place in my life. Amen.
