FOLLOWING THE MESSAGE 1.) vs 19 The “Jews” sent a delegation to the issues. They are clearly sending John a signal that they’re in power and that they accredit others. In their minds, he can only “operate” with their and under their authority.

10.) vs 34 John has been telling the Israelites the Messiah is coming, even though he’s not known the identity for certain. - He may have had his suspicions, but he does not have absolute proof. The absolute comes at the baptism of Jesus. 11.) At the Baptism, John sees the Holy Spirit descending like a Dove upon Jesus. He hears the voice of the Father from Heaven, declaring Jesus to be His beloved Son, in whom He is well pleased.
2.) vs 20 John’s threefold declaration- “he confessed and did not deny, but confessed” the of the denial.

3.) vs 21 How can John say he’s not Elijah when Jesus says he is in Mt 11:14? Jesus is saying that John the Baptist is a of Elijah, in the spirit and power of Elijah; not Elijah in physical body form.

4.) vs 22 There was no among 1st century Jews about the identity of “the Prophet” (Deut 18:15). Some believed he’d be forerunner of Messiah others saw him as the Messiah himself. The view is accurate.
FOR THE WEEK AHEAD Even without knowing for sure the outcome and when the Messiah was coming, John obeyed GOD and did what he was told to do. He did what he knew to do with the information available to him.
5.) In vs 23, John is downplaying his own by indicating he is not the important person, he saying he’s no more than a voice. 6.) In vs 24 we see the other purpose for the visit of the authorities. Their question is a to John’s right to Baptize Jews. He’s treating Jews as lost sinners, in need of salvation which was to the thinking of most 1st century Jews. 7.) vs 26 The wants to talk about the of his work, but John is there to magnify Christ—to focus Israel’s attention on Him. His message is simple and urgent: Prepare your hearts… the Messiah is here. 8.) vs 29 The declaration “Behold, the Lamb of God” is the T of John’s witness to the world. It is within this clear statement we see that God the Father is about to for the sin of the world.
In a day when individualism is the guiding principles for life, we’d do well to reflect on the humility in the life of John the Immerser:
A model of humility and true servanthood; A great man, yet a man of humility. He grasps his role in life and devotes himself to carrying it out. He does not agonize that he cannot be more prominent. He rejoices in exalting the Savior and does not seek to further his own interests.
He does not assume that just because a person is religious they are righteous-strongest words are to those who are convinced they’ll be sitting on the 50-yard line in Heaven.
A strong lesson about knowing/doing the will of God – John is instructed to proclaim the msg of the coming of Messiah. But for most of his ministry he did not know who this was and only learned the identity of Jesus by going about his “job”.
How can you apply the principles of these truths this week? 9.) All the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) speak of the Holy Spirit descending like a dove and remaining upon Jesus immediately following His Baptism performed by John. Following the Baptism of Jesus, God spoke definitively from Heaven about who Jesus is.
