Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Who are you?
Text: John 1:19-28 (NIV):
"1:19. Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.
1:20. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ."
1:21. They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."
1:22. Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
1:23. John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'"
1:24. Now some Pharisees who had been sent
1:25. questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
1:26. "I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know.
1:27. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."
1:28. This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing."
SHOWER (Reflection):
In this life we live in, we are bound to receive different questions from different people. Because ground is not level. If you do good, people will ask questions. If you do bad, people will still do the same thing. Some are asking to receive honest or genuine answers. There are also those who are asking you just to obtain evidence they will use against you. This is why it is necessary you know your stand in life. Who are you? Are you a child of God? What else is your life showing in the physical. If you study today's verse well you will discover that questions directed to him was based on the miracles the people are witnessing and other things he does. So, we need to be sure that our lives preach Christ always. Find out who you are in Christ and live above it in Jesus name, Amen.
