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!
