*TOPIC: INTRODUCING JESUS TO PEOPLE*
“I have seen and have borne witness that this is the son of God” John 1:34
*MESSAGE*
Before you become known to people of high ranking status with whom you are not related, someone has to introduce you. Likewise, before Jesus started preaching, John was already preaching in the wilderness by the river Jordan. He cried out to people to turn away from their sinful ways because the Kingdom of God is near and that the King will come soon. Those who heard John believed and were baptized by John in the river Jordan. This accorded him the name, “John the Baptist.”
As people continue to come to John the Baptist, the Jewish priests question his authority by trying to know who he was. He responded by telling them openly that he is not the Messiah but “the voice of one crying in the wilderness, saying: make straight the way of the Lord…” It was after this that John saw Jesus coming toward him for baptism and John cried out: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” This is John’s testimony about Christ; what about you? Have you ever introduced Jesus to your neighbours or colleagues? Will you like to be a voice crying out for people to come to the true knowledge of God through Jesus? Arise, beloved, and start leading people to Jesus.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ As witnesses of Christ, we must always be ready to introduce Jesus to those who are yet to meet Him.
*SCRIPTURES*
John 1:29, 34; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. O Lord, help me to be a true witness of Christ in this sinful world in Jesus name;
2. Father, let my voice be heard to bring sinners to come to you in Jesus name;
3. Lord, let your Spirit bring conviction to anyone I witness to, in Jesus name.
