How can we emulate John's example of pointing others to Christ today?

Seeing Jesus Clearly

- “and he looked at Jesus walking by and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God!’” (John 1:36)

- Gaze on Christ daily through the trustworthy, literal Word (Psalm 119:105).

- The clearer our view of Him, the more natural our witness becomes.

---

Speaking of Jesus, Not Ourselves

- John’s focus was Christ, not personal reputation (John 3:30).

- Let conversation highlight who Jesus is and what He has done.

- “For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord” (2 Corinthians 4:5).

---

Pointing Away from Ourselves

- John rejoiced when others left him to follow Jesus (John 1:37).

• Celebrate others’ growth.

• Redirect praise back to Christ.

• Serve unnoticed (Matthew 6:1).

---

Calling People to Behold the Lamb

- John’s short sentence carried the core gospel.

• Sin’s reality (Romans 3:23).

• Christ’s substitutionary death (1 Peter 2:24).

• His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

• The call to repent and believe (Acts 3:19).

- Keep the message clear, concise, and cross-centered.

---

Cultivating a Lifestyle of Witness

- John testified both publicly and personally (John 1:19-39).

• Invite friends to read Scripture.

• Share testimonies in everyday talk.

• Post content that exalts Christ.

• Practice hospitality (Romans 12:13).

---

Walking in Holiness that Validates the Message

- John’s set-apart life underscored his words (Luke 1:15).

- A pure, loving lifestyle adorns the gospel (Titus 2:10).

- Guard integrity at work, online, and at home; hypocrisy blurs the signpost.

---

Trusting the Spirit for the Results

- “The two disciples heard him and followed Jesus” (John 1:37).

- We sow and water; God gives the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6).

- Rest in His sovereignty—just keep pointing.
