That You May Believe | The Gospel of John || The testimony of John the baptist is summarized in these 10 verses. In these verses we John asked who he is, and he emphatically says he is neither the Christ, Elijah, or a prophet. John knew his purpose: He was to be a voice in the wilderness preparing the way for the Christ. And he knew the right response to the glory of the Lord; ‘I am unfit to even untie his sandals.’ Let John serve as an example of how we respond to the glory of the Lord.
