Point People toward Jesus

Seeing Jesus coming towards him, John said, "Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world," (John 1:29).

Jesus is always coming toward us, too. If we are going to be a proper witness, we must recognise who we are not. We are not the Messiah. We are not the great prophet. We need to remember that we are not Jesus. We are not God. We are only witnesses. We are voices. We are to get people ready, to prepare them, to make their path straight. We must point people to Jesus.

The role of every Christian life is to point people toward Christ. As individuals and as a community, we are called to show God’s love and mercy to the world. We are chosen to continue this saving work, which Christ began, and to be part of this mission. Our response today is, “Here am I, Lord, I come to the will.”
