As I was reading this weeks study the first thing that I took notice of was when the priests were questioning John. As the priests were battering John with questions about who he was, he never took the opportunity to toot his own horn. Instead of describing who he was concerning his actions, John described himself as a disciple of Jesus and that everything he was doing was for Him. We see that John humbly admits to his actions in order to glorify God and not himself. Later on, John continues to describe who Jesus is by simply stating that He is the Lamb of God. That He has come to change our hearts/lives and to save us from our own sins.
I also loved the point about how the world changes the order around and turns "Lamb," "Takes Away," "Sin," "World." into "World," "Sin," "Takes Away," "Lamb." This list right here accurately describes our Earth, and our culture. Our culture so desperately attempts to change our perception of our own religion and I tend to fall into this trap easily.
These two points stuck out to me the most, for they both are problems that I deal with on a daily basis.
Love you guys!
