Scripture Reading: John 1:29-34

Devotion: John the Baptist testifies that Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world - the very Son of God, on whom the Holy Spirit rested at His Baptism. Today, the Lord gives His Spirit in Holy Baptism. To regard Christian Baptism as a symbolic act is to despise a precious treasure. In Baptism, Jesus Christ has taken away our sin, and the Spirit daily assures us of His merciful goodness toward us.

Prayer: “O Lamb of God, send Your Spirit with Your gracious pardon. And silence my accusing conscience. Amen.”

God’s blessings on your day,

JW

John the Baptist summed up living the spiritual life so well when he said, "He (Jesus) must increase, while I must decrease."
