Weekday Devotional with William Barclay Day 5 - The Witness of John

The Witness of John

Scripture:  John 1:19-28

Reflection:
 
John's lineage is one of a priest from Aaron.  So why do you think the other Priests and Levites went to see him?

How would you feel if your peers questioned your authority and motive for speaking on behalf of God?  Would they think you were a false prophet?

How often do you allow your witness, words and actions point to Jesus instead of yourself?


Prayer:   Lord of all, we come to bear witness to you.  We ask that when we speak and do things to help others that the light in me will shine and point to you.  Please let me speech be full of all the authority you have given John the Baptist.  I want to proclaim your word before a people who haven't heart about your unfailing love. Amen.
