“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.””John 1:29-31 ESV

All,
This stands out because John the Baptist says, “but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” Why did John need to baptize with water for Jesus to be revealed? If we have nothing to repent for, why do we need Jesus? It is a blessing to be convicted of sin in our life and then to know that Jesus is the only one who can transform us. We will try to do it on our own at first, but only Jesus can take away the sin by us yielding to Him. Please pray that we and our friends abide in Jesus today. Please pray for the Buckhead CLC social this Thursday at Capital City from 5:30-7:00pm.
