SHOW NOTES: John the Baptist was called to serve God and fulfill a very specific assignment. He was a voice crying in the wilderness, telling people to prepare the way of the Lord. His testimony was truthful and bold. John acknowledged that he was not worthy to even untie the Messiah’s sandal thong. Through his own admission, John says that he did not recognize Him. But God revealed Jesus’ identity and John proclaims, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” This faithful witness calls us to prepare our hearts and look to the Lamb of God. This is Jesus. This is the Son of God.

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: John 1:16-34
