John 1:1-14
He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness to the Light.
John 1:8
John 1:8
Here’s a thought, am I a messenger – yes, am I sent from God – yes, am I to declare the Truth – yes, so that everyone who hears can become a believer – yes, am I the Light – no, can I be one that announces that the Light is coming to everyone – yes.
I have always been interested by John the Baptist, a strange fellow chosen to bear witness to and baptize Jesus Christ. He was born to a barren mother and a very elderly father. He was a wanderer and not drawn to wearing the normal clothes or eating the normal food of the day. But he was truly dedicated to his purpose in life. Declaring the truth. He was born to witness to and baptize Jesus Christ, God’s son in the flesh, the Light coming in to the darkness. As this season of Christmas comes and goes can you be fully dedicated to your life’s purpose, spreading the truth to all, sharing the light in the darkness around the world as John the Baptist did, say yes to God’s calling in your life.
