John 1:29 - "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
The reference scripture recounts John the Baptist's reaction when he first saw Jesus. The TPT captures it beautifully, saying "The very next day, John saw Jesus coming to him to be baptized, and John cried out, “Look! There he is—God’s Lamb! He takes away the sin of the entire world!" We see clearly that John couldn't contain his excitement and eagerness to reveal Jesus and His mission to the world. This demonstrates what our attitude as Christians should be.
There's only one way to the Father, and Jesus is the Way (John 14:6). However, the world doesn't know the Way, and cannot identify the Way unassisted, hence needs someone to point Jesus to them. John 1:10 says, "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him". As we see in the reference scripture, John recognised this, and didn't hesitate the moment Jesus' came into his vicinity. Moreover, John understood that his assignment was to bear witness that Jesus was the Messiah (John 1:7, Matthew 11:10).
Beloved, Jesus is not only in your neighbourhood, He is in your house. He is in you. Do people know? Are you quiet about the presence of Jesus in your life? Does your works, utterances, attitudes, behavior reveal Jesus to the world? Does your life generally draw people to Jesus? Are you quick and eager to share your faith? Jesus is the Saviour of the world. He has all answers the world seeks. He is the solution to the world's issues. Testify of Him by deliberately telling others as well as with your actions.
Prayer: Father, thank you for revealing Yourself to me. I receive grace to show You to the world in Jesus name. Amen.
