Read alto the Prophecy toncernlng John In Ma'.. 1:1-2; 4:5, t. GOLDEN TEXT.—“Behold the Lamb of God which takeUv away the Bin of the world."—John 1:B. TIME.-John the Baptist begun bis ministry Id the summer of A. D. K- It was about alx month* after this. In January probably, A. D 17. that Jesus cams to John for baptism. It was about six weeks later when the deputation of Jews camo to him as recorded in this lesson. PLACE.—The Jhreachln* of John was mainly In the wflderness of Judea, west of the lower Jordan and the Dead sea. The Incidents of this lesson occurred at Beihabara (John 1:18). A REMINDER—Let us not forget to keep before us John's purpose In wrltlag his Gospel. Repeat John hbtl- Note the reasons presented tn this lesson why ws should believe In Jesus as the Son of God and believing might have life In His name. John's testimony (Cf. v. » with v. *4) Is supplemented by God's testimony, vs. 22, M; cf. tMatt. 2:1*. 17) and Jesus U announced aa "the Lamb of God. which takMb away the sin of the world "-v. ». The Lesson Outline. THEME:—The Christ Announced. I.—John's Testimony of Himself.—vs. IS-za. (1) John's-Questioners. fa) Priests and Levltes from Jerusalem.—v. M. (b) Bent by the Pharisees -v. *4. (c) Their Questions —vs. n. H. 2A (2) John's Negations.—vs. 20. 21. (1) John's Affirmation.—v. B. (4) John's Baptism.—v. B. 1L—John's Testimony of the Christ.—vm.

L—John's Testimony of Himself. (1) John's Questioners. John's six or seven months of preaching is bearing fruit The Jewish leaders are stirred. They appoint a delegation of priests and Levi tee to go to John to ask who he was, and what was his baptism. They were not seekers after truth so muen as they were critics of the truth. They came prejudiced, and they went away without seeing or knowing the Christ. So It Is to-day. lad:9,10; Acts28:26,27. (2) John’s Negationa—vs. 20. 21. John was not willing to sail under any false colors.—Rom. 12:2. He was not the Christ He was not Ellas. (Note, however, the later testimony of Jssns. —Matt 11:14; 17:10-12. John spoke literally; Jesns figuratively. There was expectation of a literal return of Elijah.) He was not that prophet. This last having reference to Dent 18:16, which some thought would be a second Mosea (3) John's Affirmation.—r. 23. He as only a voice crying In the wllder_jsa A voice to utter God’s message. Only a voice that the mao might be obscured and the message emphasised. What an example for preachers had teachers to-day. (4) John’s Baptism.—v. 26.—Matt. *:11; Acts 19:2-6. Notice John’s fideUty to Scripture. He quotes Isaiah the prophet in Justification of his claims. 'God’s children ought always to be prepared to reply to the questioner.—*1 Pet. 2:16. n.—John's Testimony of the Christ, fl) Jeans In Their Midst.—vs. 26, 27. -There standeth one, among yon. whom ye know not.'' Their hearts of unbelief would not see or receive Him. Thus at the very beginning we find exemplified that which has ever characterized the world since then. Jesus In the midst Of the world but unknown by the world. Note the striking contrast between John's announcement at the Christ to these carping critics, aad to those who were ready to receive fals/meaaage. To the former he aays: “Jeans is In your midst hut you don't know Him.” and on the morrow, when they have gone, ho— (2) Points Jesus out to believing hearts aa “hie Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” The Jews in narrow race prejudice were looking for a national deliverance while the world was forgotten and unJohn's broad announcement that the Christ was to be the world’s sin bearer must have been stkrtiing to
