Encountering Jesus | Lamb of God Who Takes Away The Sins of the World - John 1:19-34 - Clint Leavitt

Midtown is bringing in the New Year with a walk through the Gospel of John, inviting us to encounter Jesus as He truly is. In a world obsessed with self-definition, John shows us a different way—an identity rooted not in performance or approval, but in Christ himself. Through John the Baptist’s witness, we discover that true freedom comes not from creating meaning, but from pointing beyond ourselves to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. As we behold Jesus, our false identities fall away and we find rest in a grace-secured identity that does not fluctuate with circumstance. This is the epiphany that changes everything: we are beloved children of God because Jesus has named us so.
