The Lamb of God
Bible Text: John 1:29-34 | Preacher: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti | Series: John, The Lamb of God
1. John the Baptist was passionate about pointing people to Jesus Christ. As one writer said, John’s witness “focused on Jesus not himself.”
2.Oswald Chambers expresses the need for a John the Baptist kind of attitude in the following quotation from My Utmost for His Highest: “The tendency is to look for the marvelous in our experience; we mistake the sense of the heroic for being heroes. It is one thing to go through a crisis grandly, but another thing to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, no one paying the remotest attention to us. If we do not want medieval haloes, we want something that will make people say—What a wonderful man of prayer he is! What a pious devoted woman she is! If you are rightly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the sublime height where no one ever thinks of noticing you; all that is noticed is that the power of God comes through you all the time. Oh, I have had a wonderful call from God! It takes Almighty God Incarnate in us to do the meanest duty to the glory of God. It takes God’s Spirit in us to make us so absolutely humanly His that we are utterly unnoticeable.”
