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
