John Denies Being the Christ
Scripture
John 1:19-28
Commentary
Because of the great things that John did and
the following that he had, some thought that he was the long
awaited Messiah. John was always quick to tell everything
that he was not the Christ however but that his job was to
prepare the way for Him.
John understood what his ministry was about and
that he was only a servant of Christ. His job would be
temporary and there would be a time to step aside and allow the
Messiah to begin His ministry. In the end John wouldn't
have a choice as he is thrown into prison and then executed.
