John 1:29-36

Dear Brethren:

In the beginning of John's gospel account, in chapter 1, John refered to Jesus as the "Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." In the book of Revelation, John, in a vision, saw Jesus appearing as a Lamb that had been slain. (Revelation 5:6-10) Jesus came to this world to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Those who rejected Jesus crucified Him upon a wooden cross. They shed the blood of Jesus, the Lamb slain for our sins.

As you go about your busy day, take a minute to thank the Father in heaven for the wondeful sacrifice, for the price paid by Jesus Christ. Because of the death of the Lamb, our sins have been washed away. We have been redeemed. Rejoice and praise the Lord for His great gift of salvation.

Here is John 1:29-36 presented for your consideration.

John 1:29-36

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

30 This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'

31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."

32 Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.

33 I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

34 I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

In Love,

John Duvall
