"Teach me, Oh Lord" →
By Chris at Blue Letter Bible on May 24, 2012  The following has been adapted from The History and Authenticity of the Bible, a free class available at the Blue Letter Bible Institute. In Psalm 119, we have a lot of beautiful statements. Let’s just highlight a few. In verses 26 and 27, we see a prayer. “I have declared my ways and Thou heardest me. Teach me Thy statutes. Make me to understand...

He Came To Give You Abundant Life!
Why settle for anything less? He literally came to earth and died so we could have life in Him, with Him (John 3:16; Romans 6:23). John 10:10-11 said,  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.  He gave His life for...

To Introduce Him! [Dialogue in John 1]
John simply pointing to Christ. Powerful example -- He puts all the attention on Jesus. Reminds of the lyrics from "Invisible" by Kierra Sheard -- "God is headlining this show! To introduce Him is what I'm here so without further delay, it's time to take the stage then I move out the way so that they only see YOU that's inside of me. Don't let me block the view! That's now what I want to do. I gotta be see through! Make sure they see You! Make me invisible." ♥
John: This was He of whom I spake, 'He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for He was before me.'
Priests and Levites from Jerusalem: Who art thou?
John: I am not the Christ.
Priests and Levites from Jerusalem: What then? Art thou Elias?
John: I am not.
Priests and Levites from Jerusalem: Art thou that prophet?
John: No.
Priests and Levites from Jerusalem: Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us [the Pharisees]. What sayest thou of thyself?
John: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Priests and Levites from Jerusalem: Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John: I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
THE NEXT DAY -- Jesus shows up.
