Are we prepared to bear witness to the truth? Are we determined to share the Good News of true love and salvation, Jesus!? Have we deceased so that He can increase in our lives and in the lives of others?
Let us pray….
Father, we thank you for setting your love upon us, we want to be clear witnesses to You. Give us what we need to carry this out, we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
Today’s Gospel
John 1:19–28
This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
