“ALWAYS POINTING TO JESUS”

Do you think …

• … John would have put his name on the cover of a Bible?
• … John would have featured his name on a website address?
• … John would have allowed his face to be on t-shirts and coffee mugs?
• … John would have put his name “in lights” on a theatre marquee?

Pointing to Jesus:

1.) John the baptizer

• A. First encounter Luke 1:41-44
• B. Personal testimony John 1:6-8
• – more powerful (above all) Luke 3:16 | John 1:15 | John 3:31
• – Lamb of God John 1:29-31, 35-37
• – Son of God Matthew 3:13-16 | John 1:32-34
• – Bridegroom John 3:28-29
• – He must increase John 3:30
• C. Strong message
• – Prepare Matthew 3:3 | John 1:23
• – Repent Luke 3:3, 8 | John 1:29
• – Believe John 3:34-36
