“This is he [Lamb of God] of whom I [John the Baptist] said, ‘After me cometh a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.’ And I knew him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water” (John 1:30, 31 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, please help us to remember […]

The next day John, seeth Jesus coming vnto him, and saith, ‘Behold that Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world’” (John 1:29 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we are grateful Your Son conquered sin. In Christ’s holy name we are joyful. Hallelujah~

“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, […]

What sayest thou of thy self?’ [He John] said, ‘I am the voice […]

“Then this is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, ‘Who art thou?’ And he confessed and denied not, and said plainly, ‘I am not that Christ’” (John 1:19, 20 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we understand John the Baptist was the forerunner for Christ.

“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. It is simple. It draws those who seek to fill the longing […]

“All things were made by it [that Word which is Christ], and without it was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and that life was the light of men” (John 1:3, 4 [ 1587 Geneva Version]). Father God, thank You for sending Your Son to die and rise again to save those who believe […]
