The First Followers of Jesus
John was still busy preaching and baptising, and when he saw Jesus, returning from the wilderness, he pointed him out to the crowds.
John:
There! You see that man over there – you’re looking at the Lamb of God – the sacrifice who will take away the sins of the world once and for all. When I baptised him I saw heaven open and God’s Holy Spirit descend upon him. This is no ordinary man – I am baptising people with simple, cold water – he will baptise you with the complex firre of God. This man is greater than I will ever be – because although he appears after me – in reality he was before me.
The people demanded to know if John himself was the Messiah they had been waiting for, but he told them plainly:
John:
I am simply the one to point the way. I am a signpost in the wilderness, that’s all.
