In the opening chapter of John’s Gospel, the attention shifts from the eternal Word—Jesus Christ—to a simple man named John the Baptist. John’s entire life had one purpose: to point people to the Light.

He wasn’t the message; he was the messenger. He wasn’t the Light; he was a witness to the Light.

This passage reminds us that every believer shares that same calling—to live in such a way that others see Christ through us. Our lives are not about building our own platform, but about bearing witness to Jesus so that all might believe.
