His Indescribable Gift

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’  I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.” 

Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:29-34, NIV)

All the gifts of God,
all the freedom of His forgiveness,
all His unfailing love,
all the life-giving renewal of His mighty breath,
all the beauty of His character,
all the joyful, glorious, abundant future
that His heart could ever imagine
have come to you in Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15, NIV)

Prepare for the Living Christ

John saw Jesus coming toward him and said,
“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
This is the one I meant when I said,
‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me
because he was before me.’” 

Then John gave this testimony:
“I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and
remain on him.
I would not have known him,
except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,
‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain
is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.”
(John 1:29-30, 32-34, NIV)

He is coming,
the Lamb of God who takes away all sin,
the only Son from the very presence of the Father,
the Holy One who immerses our hearts and lives
in the Spirit of God Himself.

He comes with such rich gifts.
Have you prepared?
Are you ready to receive Him?
