John 1:19-34
Dear RTB’ers,
John the Baptist answering the Jews’ questions, I am not the Christ. … I am not. … No. … (vv. 20-22) No matter how John the Baptist answers their questions, they keep asking. But all their questions are about him, and he finally gets their thinking back to the Messiah: … I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness… I baptize with water, but among you stands One you do not know, even He Who comes after me, the strap of Whose sandal I am not worthy to untie. (vv. 23a, 26b-27). I could surely follow John the Baptist’s example – it’s not about me, it’s about Jesus.
Blessings.
