Key Verse

 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).

Text —John 1:26-36

Message

We are introduced to John the Baptists’ testimony of Jesus Christ in our study today. He proclaimed Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.  He was specific that Jesus is the man preferred before him. John’s example is a powerful one for all Christians, especially Christian youths and leaders. As followers of Christ, our task is similar to his role as a forerunner; to shift attention away from ourselves, and point people to Christ! Let us never forget, no matter how honoured we may be; we are not the Messiah! 

Most importantly, it is good to proclaim Him among the heathen and among those that hear us. John proclaimed Jesus and concealed his own identity. We must not put ourselves above the message of the gospel of Christ as we preach Him to others in our schools or communities. Our focus and primary goal should be to lift Jesus high and Him alone. This should reflect in our lifestyle, comportment, language, and devotion among our friends.
