John 1:29-36 (ESV)

Behold, the Lamb of God

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[a] of God.”

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

What's up, friends, it's E. Good morning and welcome to day five of our mini daily devotional

0:05.4

series on the Gospel of John. And this morning's topic is other testimonies of John concerning Christ.

0:12.6

So let's get comfortable, grab your Bible, and let's prepare our heart and our mind for the

0:17.6

day's work ahead. John chapter 1 verses 29 through 36.

0:22.6

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes

0:27.5

away the sin of the world.

0:29.8

This is he of whom I said after me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before

0:35.9

me.

0:36.9

I myself did not know him, but for this purpose

0:39.7

I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel. And John bore witness, I saw

and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, Behold, the Lamb of God. So what do these verses

1:18.5

mean? And how can we apply them to our life? John saw Jesus coming to him and pointed him out as the

1:24.0

Lamb of God. The Passover Lamb represented the salvation of sinners by faith in Christ.

1:30.3

And the Lamb sacrificed every morning and evening can only refer to Christ slain as a sacrifice

1:35.9

to redeem us to God by His blood. John came as a preacher of repentance, yet he told his

1:42.0

followers that they were to look for the pardon of their

sins to Jesus only and to his death.
