John 1:29-34
At the time:
John saw Jesus coming towards 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 baptising with water,
that he might be revealed to Israel.’
And John bore witness:
‘I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove,
and it remained on him.
I myself did not know him,
but he who sent me to baptise with water said to me,
“He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain,
this is he who baptises with the Holy Spirit.”
And I have seen and have bone witness that this is the Son of God.’
PROMPTS FOR FAITH SHARING
How might you imitate John the Baptist’s mission of making Jesus known?
What are some of the moments of calling you’ve experienced in your life? How did you identify God’s voice?
When we think of “God’s will” we often focus on big decisions like our state in life and our career. But God’s will is more often lived out in the small, ordinary choices we make every day. Where might God be calling you to greater holiness amidst the mundane realities of your life?
