John 1:34 “‘I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.”‘ John the Baptist is a very reliable witness. His testimony is therefore factual and accurate. He recognized Jesus, knew who He was, couldn’t do anything but tell others about Him. He knew what his purpose in life was. God created John for this purpose. The same is true for each of us—you and me. Each of us, no matter our age has a purpose. Important question: For what purpose has God created you?

John 1:29 “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'” How could John say these words without Jesus being God? He knew the innocent man standing before him had the power to carry the weight of the world’s sins. No mere human could do what our Savior did and John knew that truth. The supreme love our Godhas for each of is comprehendible. Innocence, to live and die and rise for you and me—there is no greater love.

John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus, the Word, our Savior, the Creator, the One and Only, the reason for Christmas, the One who is our Advocate, the One who is Love and gives us assurance and confidence–therefore, our Hope, the One who bought us with His blood—He is the One we honor for He has made each of us His child. Yes, each of us both humbly and proudly believe—I am a child of God.

John 1:9 “The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.” On the first day of Creation God created light. What that light was is an interesting yet nonconclusive study. The important fact is: the first thing God created was light. The rest of Creation came after this first and critical need. Your and my most critical need is light–or should the word be spelled Light. Without our Light survival is impossible. John, our author, continually emphasizes Jesus as our Light. He is the One we cannot survive without. Why would we want to walk in darkness when we can enjoy the Light of life?
