December 13, 2020“I am not the Christ.”
This quote from John the Baptist seems simple enough. It is a fact, but more than that, it does tell us about John the Baptist himself. He was humble, but not timid. He was a seeker of truth, but not willing to promote himself in the eyes of others.
He pointed to Christ.
John the Baptist, out in the desert, pointed people in the right direction. We may think of him as isolated or alone, but whenever possible he took every opportunity to tell of the coming of the Lord. Wherever we find ourselves, in a house with lots of family or friends, in quarantine by ourselves or just a few others, God will give us an opportunity (and often more than one) to point people to Christ.
When you get that next opportunity, point to Christ!
