In Week 4 of our Believe series through the Gospel of John, we return to John 1 and the powerful testimony of John the Baptist:

“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”

Israel expected a conquering Lion. Instead, God sent a Lamb.

This message explores the humility of John—“I am not… but He is”—and the humility of Christ, who conquered not by force, but by the cross. Jesus did not overthrow Rome with a sword; He overcame sin through sacrificial love. And now, He calls His people to reflect that same lamb-like posture in the world.

In a culture that prizes pride, power, and self-promotion, believers are called to go low, to serve, and to point beyond themselves to Christ.
