“He [Christ] it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John did baptize” (John 1:27, 28 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, help us be as humble as John the Baptist that we may be pleasing in Your sight.

“Now they which were sent, were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, ‘Why baptizes thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?’ John answered them, saying, ‘I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not” (John 1:24-26 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, […]

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John [Jesus’ cousin]. This same came for a witness, to bear witness of that light, that all men through him might belieue” (John 1:6, 7 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Your plan for salvation is perfect.
