JESUS CHRIST the LAMB OF GOD . A Meditation John 1:29-34

1. John the next day professes Christ as the LAMB OF GOD which takes away the sins of the world. ( v29)
2. Again John exalts Christ that he is the one to be preferred.  (V30)
3. John came to baptise with water that CHRIST will be made manifest to Israel (v31)
4. John says, Christ was revealed to him after the holy spirit descended from heaven like a dove on him and ABODE on him. (V32-33)
5. It was revealed to John that CHRIST is the one who baptiseth with the Holy Spirit. (V33)
6. John bears record that CHRIST is the SON of God.  (V34)

Life Application:
1. How is CHRIST revealed to us?
2. Can we see him as the LAMB OF GOD which takes away the sins of the world?
3. How is our perception  in exalting Christ?
4. Are we clear with the roles God has given us in the Kingdom of God as compared to John as he baptised with water?
5. What is our perception of Baptism?
6. Did we receive the baptism in water as a symbol of remission of sins?
7. Did we experience the much higher standard of being baptised by the HOLY SPIRIT which only Jesus can give?
8. Do we bear record that  Christ is the SON of GOD?

My dear brothers and sisters,
If you are not assured of your sins being washed away by the blood of the LAMB OF GOD, jesus Christ of Nazareth, today is the day. Confess your sins and allow him to cleanse you by his blood.

If you are a Christian assured of this experience of salvation but still has not been water  immersion baptised, make a decision to get it done the way CHRIST has set an example for us.

After the water immersion baptism, if you have not received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, ask and you shall receive. It is CHRIST who baptises you with fire. Ask and you shall receive  the Holy Spirit to the fullness of your joy.

May God bless you.

John's witness: A Meditation: John 1: 16-28

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, kindly read the scriptures from the Holy Bible from John 1: 16-18, before scrolling further.
1. John's witness was so strong for God that the jews wanted to know who he really was. (V19)
2. He never denied who he was but also confessed who Christ was. (V20)
3. Though the levites and the priests pestered him asking who John really was... He stood on his ground and confessed that he was that voice crying in the wilderness and making straight the way for the Lord. ( v21-23)
6. The same people who tried to exalt John as Elias or prophet, when he denied, they started questioning his rights on giving baptism.  (V25)
7. But there too John glorifies Christ that, Christ is preferred more than him and he is not worthy to loosen the shoe laschets of CHRIST.
Life application:
1. How is our witness for CHRIST as compared to John?
2. Are we willing to exalt Christ in our lives or we deny him?
3. How do we react when people exalt us as compared to John?
4. How do we react when people question what we do for God as compared to John?
5. Do we know what we are called for and our position in the kingdom of God?
6. Do we glorify Christ that he alone is worthy and we are just unworthy and unfaithful servants of the most high God.?
 Let us meditate and allow the spirit of God to search us in these areas. May God do the good work what he started in us.
