John was not the Light, but he came to tell people the truth about the Light.
John spoke freely and did not refuse to answer. He said, “I am not the Christ.”
The true Light that gives light to all was coming into the world!
You yourselves heard me say, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am the one sent to prepare the way for him.’
Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of changed hearts and lives. He told people to believe in the one who would come after him, and that one is Jesus.”
