Son of God

DAY 29          WRITTEN BY: MADELINE PEDERSON

• READ

  John 1:34

  I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.

• REFLECT

  John publicly introduced Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, for whom he had prepared the way. John introduces Jesus as “the Lamb of God who takes away the Sins of the world” (John 1:29), suggesting that the Messiah would die, like a lamb offered in sacrifice for the cleansing of sin. John then pointed out that he himself was not at first certain that Jesus was the Messiah, but when he saw the Holy Spirit descend on Jesus at his baptism, he was left in no doubt. Therefore John testifies that Jesus truly is the Son of God, the lamb of God who will take away the sins of the world.

  John’s testimony is powerful and wavering with no doubt that he truly is the Son of God. Although we may not have seen the Holy Spirit quite like John, we must be on the lookout for how God works in our lives. We must be on the lookout for how God is revealing himself in the Word. Like John, we are to testify about God and the finished work that he accomplished on the cross for us.

  Because of Jesus, we are given the free gift of Salvation and it is a privilege to testify about Him and the truth of His Word.

• RESPOND

  Lord, thank you for sending your only begotten Son into the world to be our Saviour. Thank You for the truth of Your Word and the testimony that it contains. I pray, that our life may be a testimony and witness to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Saviour of the world.
