Read It:
Jesus said to the Jews:
"You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth.
I do not accept testimony from a human being,
but I say this so that you may be saved.
John was a burning and shining lamp,
and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light.
But I have testimony greater than John's.
The works that the Father gave me to accomplish,
these works that I perform testify on my behalf
that the Father has sent me."

Reflect on It:
John testified to the truth. The Truth is Jesus Christ. He has testimony greater than John's. What a world Jesus came into. John the Baptist paved the way for the Lord, often with much resistance. He just testified to the truth. John was a burning and shining lamp for the world. I hope that we too are the light for the world and prepare the way for the coming of Christ.

Pray about It: Lord, help me to be a burning and shining lamp, preparing the way for you. Amen.

Live It! Challenge: Today, bask in the truth by being positive all day long!
