Sermon Notes for 12/28/2025
TITLE: To Whom Do You Attest?
SCRIPTURE: John 1:19-34
May we be walking testimonies of Jesus!
The One in the Wilderness - Who are you? (19-28)
- John the Baptist is being interrogated
- “I am NOT the Christ!”
- The Prophet - Deuteronomy 18:18
- “I am the voice of one calling…” - Isaiah 40:3
- John the Baptist redefined baptism
Behold the Lamb of God! (29-31)
- “Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He…”
- The Lamb - images of the Passover lamb, the daily offering for the nation’s sin, Isaiah’s suffering servant being led to slaughter (Isaiah 53)
- The Lamb takes “the sin of the world!”
I have Testified… (32-34)
- “I have seen the Spirit descending… and remain upon Him…”
- See Isaiah 11:2
- John the Baptist doesn’t present a theory or hypothesis; he gives sworn testimony based on what he has witnessed firsthand.
The Heart of Christian Witness
- Point away from self
- Point towards Christ
- Testify to what you’ve seen and experienced
The world needs more witnesses of Jesus! Let’s be bold in 2026!
