John 1:19-51.   You cannot always trust what people are saying about someone, but sometimes you can.  Listen to what people are saying about Jesus in today’s text. He is…

1. the Lord (23).
2. the Lamb of God (29).
3. someone younger, but greater, because he existed first (30).
4. he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit (33).
5. the Son of God (34).
6. Rabbi (teacher) (38).
7. the Messiah (41).
8. the one the Bible predicted (45).
9. the king of Israel (49).

LORD, help us to encounter this great person, and lead others to him.
