The Spirit's Witness Weeks 4-6


  1. Behold the Lamb of God.
    1. He is the lamb anticipated since Genesis.
    2. He takes the sin of the world.
    3. This is the one John has been witnessing too.
    1. He admits that proclaiming him was his only mission
  1. The Spirit's witness is even higher.
    1. The Spirit descend from heaven and remained on Jesus
    1. The Spirit is who gave John his witness.
    1. The Spirit proclaims Jesus will offer a complete baptism
  1. His conclusion is that this is God's Son.
    1. This means he has the authority of God.
    1. This means that God has finally provided a way to be right with him.

Application:
  1. Jesus has been revealed and is the revealer. There is no one else that is like him.  There is no else that deserves the attention he deserves. How much attention will you give him?
  1. The Spirit is God and testified that Jesus is true. There is no greater testimony then the Spirit of God. What are you going to do with the testimony? Which cleansing will you except? Societies super-fiscal cleansing or the cleansing of the Holy Spirit?
  1. Because God has all authority, any other authority loses. Why would we disobey his authority? Why wouldn't we accept his means to be right with him?
