John 1:15-28

In this passage it talks about John the baptist and how he testified for the Christ that was to come. It then talks about how John was confronted by some and asked if he was Christ or Elijah. He told them he was just preparing the way for God.

John the baptist is an interesting character. He does what he was sent to do. He does it with conviction because he knows that what he's been told will come to pass. We should have equal conviction that the message we're given should be spread with conviction as well. We share a burden similar to his. To prepare people for Christ's coming and to look for repentance in people.
