“There once was a man, his name John, sent by God to point out the way to the Life-Light. He came to show everyone where to look, who to believe in. John was not himself the Light; he was there to show the way to the Light.”
John 1:8 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
John was an emissary. He did not shy away from his calling, and made it clear that he wasn’t announcing himself, rather he was announcing one whose shoes, he said, he was not worthy to untie. With great humility as well as confidence, John brings the message to the people. If you are a believer today, are you an emissary for Christ also?
