Scripture: John 1:29-42
I love the Gospel of John. Primarily because it was written in the style of a Greek drama. And you all know how much I love drama… as an art form.
In today’s modern age, I can almost picture how this first chapter of the Gospel of John would go. This great, awesome expanse of the universe, with some deep, James Earl Jones or Cecil B. DeMille voice going “In the beginning was the Word…”
And then have it kind of narrow down …to planet earth - where the Word dwelt among humans - until you get to this opening scene. Of people crowded around John the Baptist – wanting to know whether he is the messiah or not, and John having to explain that no – he’s not the Messiah, but he tells them all about the one who IS the messiah, the light of the world.
