Challenge Accepted: Bibleنموونە

John wastes no time in his Gospel outlining exactly who Jesus was. He wasn’t just a teacher, wasn’t just a wise man or a miracle worker…this was God incarnate! He has always existed (“the Word” who was with God in the beginning), and then He came to earth exactly as had been prophesied for hundreds and hundreds of years. And once He hits the scene, he immediately starts flipping everything on its head. The first prophet in generations (John the Baptist) points straight to Him, He demonstrates His power over nature in His first public miracle, and He even begins calling out the existing religious establishment. Jesus came on a mission, and He didn’t waste any time getting to work. John had a front row seat to all of this, and he clearly knew early on that Jesus was like no one else in history. 

As you read today, ask yourself these two questions:

• What verse or moment stood out to me the most?
• What can I do with that in my life today?
