Week 3 - Knowledge

​Knowledge: learning something new so you can be better at whatever you do.
 
In John 1:19-42, we read John’s account of Jesus’ baptism.  Jesus was about to start His public ministry. He shows up on the banks of the Jordan River where his cousin, John the Baptist, was baptizing people. John the Baptist recognized Jesus, not just as his cousin, but as God’s promised Savior. John understood God’s story and called out to the crowd, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)” That day, he pointed out to everyone who Jesus was and why they should know Jesus and start to follow Him.
 
Bottom Line: Discovering what God says helps you follow Jesus. The more we read God’s Word, the more we understand about who Jesus is and why He came to earth. God’s Word gives us clarity for what it means to believe in Jesus and follow Him with our lives.
