Behold the Lamb of God
In John 1:29 there are two startling statements that John the Baptist makes about the Messiah, the Lord Jesus. Both of these statements are contrary to what the popular view point of the day was. 1. The statement regarding the person of the Messiah was startling. 2. The statement regarding the work of the Messiah was startling.

A Humble Witness
My purpose for preaching this passage of Scripture is not so that you will have some good information on how you are to witness for Christ. But I want you to know what a true witness looks like and acts like and what his message is so that you can put that into practice. We are called to be Christ’s witnesses and when we witness we should do so in a manner worthy of the One to whom we are bearing witness of.

The Back-Story of Jesus
The first chapter of Luke gives us the background or back-story of Jesus. We find out the historical setting, and we meet an important godly couple (Zechariah & Elizabeth) who (though Elizabeth was barren) had a very special son named John. Elizabeth's cousin, Mary of Nazareth, is visited by the angel Gabriel and finds out that she (an unmarried woman) is going to become pregnant (not through human means) with a son that is going to fulfill all of the Old Testament promises! Through this back-story, we learn that God gives mercy to the humble, always keeps His promises, and sends salvation through Jesus.

Playing to the Crowd
John the Baptist wasn’t confronting power for the sake of justice, to right some wrong that was being done to the people, or to free them from the yoke of oppression. No one’s life was on the line but his. He saved no one. He died as the result of a request from a stupid girl at the urging of her vengeful mother, who was up to her neck in sin with her husband’s brother. John died for the sake of God’s righteousness and the people to whom he witnessed completely missed the point. It seems like an awful waste.
