Devotional December 17, 2023

Please read John 1:6-8, 19-28

Have you ever thought about John?

His place in history is being the opening act. He was born to tell the people about Who was coming and Who he was and What he could do.

People came to him to be taught. They came to be baptized.

He always knew this would be his job, and he did it without regret. 

He loved Jesus. He knew he was the Son of God and he told everyone he saw that this was the One. 

It’s hard to imagine in this day and age, where supreme egos rule, that this man could put aside his ego to bring others to one who could save them. When everyone is so caught up in being #1, this man was happy to just save others by bringing them to Christ.

During this season of Light and Love may we all think of who we can introduce to the Savior. How may we humble ourselves to raise others.

Dear heavenly Father, in this season where we celebrate the birth of your Son, our Savior, may we stop and think of others who need to hear this story, who need to know that there is grace and forgiveness there for them if they will stop and hear the Good News!  Amen.

I pray peace and blessings for you and yours.
