The Reverend Dr. Samuel T. PowersBoston Avenue Methodist ChurchJohn 1: 29-42"The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared,‘Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Thisis he of whom I said, “After me comes a man who ranks ahead ofme because he was before me.” I myself did not know him, but Icame baptizing with water for this reason, that he might berevealed to Israel.’ And John testified, ‘I saw the Spirit descendingfrom heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did notknow him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said tome, “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is theone who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.” And I myself have seen andhave testified that this is the Chosen One.’The next day John again was standing with two of hisdisciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by he exclaimed, ‘Look,here is the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him say this,and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw themfollowing, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said tohim, ‘Rabbi’ (which translated means Teacher), ‘where are youstaying?’ He said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and sawwhere he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It wasabout four o’clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard Johnspeak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. Hefirst found his brother Simon and said to him, ‘We have found theMessiah’ (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon toJesus, who looked at him and said, ‘You are Simon son of John.You are to be called Cephas’ (which is translated Peter).”

The Reverend Dr. Samuel T. PowersBoston Avenue Methodist ChurchJohn 1: 1-18“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, andthe Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All thingscame into being through him, and without him not one thing cameinto being. What has come into being in him was life, and the lifewas the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, andthe darkness did not overtake it. There was a man sent from Godwhose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light,so that all might believe through him. He himself was not thelight, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, whichenlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in theworld, and the world came into being through him, yet the worlddid not know him. He came to what was his own, and his ownpeople did not accept him. But to all who received him, whobelieved in his name, he gave power to become children of God,who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the willof man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived amongus, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son,full of grace and truth. (John testified to him and cried out, ‘Thiswas he of whom I said, “He who comes after me ranks ahead ofme because he was before me.”’) From his fullness we have allreceived, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given throughMoses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one hasever seen God. It is the only Son, himself God, who is close to theFather’s heart, who has made him known.”
