Daily Devotional
by Donald Lowe

John 1:29 - 42 
A CHAIN OF WITNESSES
John witnessed in public and before his own disciples, creating a chain of witnesses for Christ. He is not afraid to decline personally in notoriety (Jn 3. 30) if he is to proclaim Christ ...

(29-34). John publicly recognizes Jesus as the Lamb of God, therefore he who is destined to erase the sin of the whole world; the one on whom the Spirit descended and stopped, the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. And he declares that Jesus is the Son of God. Who is Jesus for you, and what do you say of him in public?

After recognizing and testifying to Jesus publicly, John the Baptist bears witness to him especially to two of his disciples who follow and live with Jesus Christ (38-39). Andrew, one of the two, testifies not only to his brother Simon but above all to Christ (40-42; 2 Tim. 2). How can you do like Andrew today and give Jesus to someone like the best end-of-the-year gift?

What are you doing to those members of your family who do not have Christ and what is the content of your message?

Reminder: Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

In Him,
Donald Lowe
