“Point Out Immanuel’s Nurturing Truth!
(P.O.I.N.T)”

SCRIPTURE:
"And so John came,
baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for
the forgiveness of sins. The whole Judean countryside and all the people
of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized
by him in the Jordan River. John wore clothing made of camel's hair,
with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
And this was his message: "After me will come one more powerful than I,
the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I
baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
(Mark 1:4-8, NIV)
Observations:
I asked myself who are all the CHARACTERS
mentioned directly or indirectly in
verses 4-8:
-
John
-
Whole Judean countryside
-
All the people of Jerusalem
-
One more powerful than I
-
Holy Spirit
Observations/Interpretations:
I asked myself what I can
learn about John from verses 4-8?
1.
John came baptizing in the desert region.
2. John came preaching a baptism of repentance.
3. John was able to draw huge crowd towards him.
4. John baptized those who first confessed their sins in the
Jordan River. 5. John wore clothing made of camel’s hair.
6. John wore a leather belt around his waist.
7. John ate locusts and wild honey.
8. John knew he was a messenger.
9. John shows his humbleness.
10. John was prepared to draw crowds to the One more powerful than
he was.
Interpretations/Applications:
I asked myself what was
the significance of each point?
Points 1
& 2: John came baptizing in the desert region, preaching a baptism of
repentance.
It is interesting that John did not go right into
the cities to preach a baptism of repentance but isolated himself in the
desert region, baptizing there and preaching a baptism of repentance. This fulfilled prophecy regarding
‘a voice of one calling in the desert!'
Yet, he was able to
accomplish something significant which is evident by point 3.
Point 3:
John was able to draw huge crowds to him.
John must have been a powerful
speaker or a speaker that drew interest that the whole Judean
countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Now as I
think about it, a desert region has lots of space that can be used for
all those who wanted to listen to him. Also when the people found out
that there was someone in the desert region preaching a baptism of
repentance, they could have been reminded of the Book of Isaiah and
wanted to check it out. Human tendency is that if a lot of people are
flocking to an area other people will usually follow even if they do not
know anything about the prophecy. This could have happened too. Now they
are in the desert region and put themselves in a place to receive. This
is evident by
point 4.
Point 4:
John baptized those who first confessed their sins.
I found it very interesting that John did not take baptism lightly but
only baptized in the Jordan River those who confessed their sins. In
essence, he was symbolically washing them clean. This happened only
after he first preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of
sins. This showed me the connection there is between repentance and
confession. These two became prerequisites to baptism. Only after people
decided to repent (turn from) their evil ways and then confess their
evil ways did he agree to baptize them in the Jordan River.
I also found it so interesting that desert
region was mentioned first before the Jordan River. This made me realize
that many times our lifestyle can be likened to a desert region. It is
dry and like a parched land. We may want to get out of it but we are
figuratively surrounded by the desert and hope for water to quench our
thirst and give us hope. Yet, there seems to be a condition to receive
that water into our lives. It starts with admitting when our lifestyle
is wrong and deciding to confess and turn from it and to the Lord. When that happens we
do figuratively receive water into our lives, the Living Water. Now we have moved
from the desert region of thirst into alleviating our thirst. Even then,
it is interesting that John does not stop with just baptizing them in
the water which is evident later.
Points
5-8: John, who wore clothing made of camels hair, wore a leather belt,
and ate locusts & wild honey knew he was just a messenger.
I believe whatever the Bible mentions, there is
a reason for it.
So I thought to myself, why
mention John’s clothing attire and his food?
In olden days, emissaries used to come first to
prepare the way for someone important who was going to come. They would
lay out the groundwork and preparations for that person to come. They
themselves would have some important title that would draw people to
them.
For me clothing made of camel’s hair reminds me
of fur and the expensiveness of it. The leather belt also reminds me of
expensiveness. Leather can sure be expensive. Now the food he eats is
significant too. He eats locusts and wild honey in the desert region. I
believe God provided them for him. Honey to me is expensive and not
cheap even in the supermarkets now.
For me all this pointed to John being someone
important with a message. He knew he was a messenger and not just a
messenger but a ‘powerful messenger’
and crowds were flocking to him.
Yet, he does something that is evident by points 9 & 10.
Point
9&10: John shows his humbleness by wanting to lead the crowd to someone
else.
John does not take the opportunity to boost his
own resume, getting excited about all the people that were coming to
him. Instead,
“this was his message: "After me
will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not
worthy to stoop down and untie. I baptize you with water, but he will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
John made three very significant points to prepare the way for the One
who was to come making three crucial claims about Jesus Christ:
-
After me will come one more powerful than
I.
-
The thongs of whose sandals, I am not
worthy to stoop down and tie.
-
I baptize you with water, but he will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
Statement 1: After me will come one more powerful than I.
This shows me that John was powerful but did not
let that power go to him. Instead he is humble and tells the crowd that
he is not the one to be followed because there is One who is more
powerful than he who will come.
Statement 2: The thongs of whose sandals, I am not worthy to stoop down
and tie.
He tells the crowd that even though he is
seen as powerful, he does not feel worthy to even stoop down and tie the thongs
of the sandals of One who is to come and that’s how powerful the One who
is to come is.
Statement 3: I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the
Holy Spirit.
John lets them know that there is a baptism more
important than water baptism and it is being baptized with the Holy
Spirit which he cannot do but the One who is to come will.
John has prepared the way for the One who is to
come!
(To be continued)
IMPLICATIONS:
I asked myself what are the implications for
my own life?
What stuck out to me was ‘pointing’. Whatever John did, his mission
became to point others to Jesus. Even when the whole Judean countryside
and all the people of Jerusalem came to him, he was telling them not to
focus on him but the One who would baptize them with the Holy Spirit.
Now as the Pittsburgh Standard is being
published, there is the temptation to want to work on the paper only
when I know a lot of people are coming to it and reading it. The paper is not here to build my ego but the
paper is there to glorify Christ, bring people to the Lord, help people grow in the
Lord and at the same time give coverage of events that are happening on
campus, in the county, city, country, and continents of the world as time permits.
This means even if only one
person is pointed to Christ, gives their life to Him, and is growing in
their faith, it is worth it. Even if only one person looks at any
article, it is worth it if it makes a difference for the glory of the
Lord in their lives.
Whatever our paper does we need to remember that the paper exists to
point people to Christ, promote the principles in Scripture and speak out against non-biblical
principles. The goal being to point others to Christ and His Word here
on earth for lives to be changed and His Name being glorified.
I ask you now dear friend, who do you P.O.I.N.T to
in life?
Dear friend, if all you do is point to
yourself, then this passage should lead you in another direction.
John the Baptist pointed people to Christ for a reason and that
reason was because He knew Jesus alone is the Living Water and can
baptize people with the Holy Spirit transforming their lives. Jesus
alone can address the issues of the heart.
Friend, we need to be pointed to Christ because without Christ we
will be a wanderer in the desert surrounded by parched land. Only
Christ can offer the water we need to quench our thirst.
Pointing people to Christ is not just for those we see as good. It
should be especially for those who are committing the same mistakes over
and over. It is for those who loved ones think will never change, so
what's the use. It is for those who are wounded and bruised. It is
also for those that think they have it all together. It is for those
that are thirsty and looking for a way to quench their thirst beyond
Gatorade's physical thirst quenching ability.
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water
will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will
never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring
of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4:13b-14, NIV)
"Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone
is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as
the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within
him." By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were
later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since
Jesus had not yet been glorified." (John 7:37b-39, NIV)
Jesus said, 'I am the Way, the Truth, and the
Life. No man comes to the Father except through me!' (John 14:6)
So friend, we need to be pointed to Christ and point others to Christ
because Christ alone can give us the Holy Spirit that can transform our
lives. Yes, we all need transformation because of sin that has
disfigured our relationship with our Creator.
Because of this disfiguration caused by sin, we cannot point
ourselves to Christ but the Good News is that God knew how trapped the
world has been in sin, so God loved the world so
much that He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have Everlasting Life. God sent
Jesus Christ to present us the Gospel so we can be transformed and
changed as we accept what Jesus did on the cross for us.
Jesus died on the cross shedding His precious cleansing blood to wipe
away all our sins so we can have the opportunity to be freed from the
bondage to sin. When Jesus absorbed the sins of humanity upon Himself,
He absorbed the past, present, and future sins.
Absorbing the sins still made humanity empty on the inside until His
precious cleansing blood was taken to be the transfusion of change in a
person's body. When people have received what Jesus did for them on the
cross and allowed His blood to replace the deadly virus known as sin,
then that made the Holy Spirit to reside in that person's heart for
receiving Christ, transforming them.
We point others to Christ because Christ alone has the Words of
Eternal Life. He alone has made the Way for us to reach the Father by
becoming a bridge between us and God. Heaven can only be reached through
Christ alone and His redeeming sacrifice on the cross of Calvary because
God in His holiness cannot allow sin to enter His presence.
Now because of Christ in our lives, when God looks at us He sees the
righteousness of Christ and His blood covering over us so His judgment
will pass over us giving us access to heaven.
Salvation is a free gift of grace given by God for our freedom but
God will not force us to come to Him in repentance and confession.
Christ chose us when He went to the cross to die for our sins that we
may be redeemed but we have to be willing to acknowledge that we need
Jesus Christ in our lives because we have been in bondage to sin so
Christ can come and transform our lives. It starts with repentance and
confession.
"If we confess our sins, He can be depended on
to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
May you be drawn to Jesus Christ in your life and receive the Living
Water He offers. May you join a Bible-believing church to be pointed to
Christ and His Word from Genesis to Revelation.
If you have not found a
church, I encourage you to come join me at Oakland
International Fellowship every Sunday morning where our passion is to
know Jesus and make Jesus known throughout the international community.
You do not have to be an international student to be part of OIF.
The church meets at North
Dithridge Street opposite to Webster Hall in Pittsburgh, PA. Prayer
meetings start at 9:30
a.m., Sunday School starts at 10:30 a.m., and worship starts at 11:30 a.m.,

When we let Jesus be the focus, He will take
care of the rest! Amen!
"Point Out Immanuel’s Nurturing Truth! (P.O.I.N.T)"/”Who
do you P.O.I.N.T to in life?”
Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for opening your Word to us. Your Word has
power to change lives. Though John the Baptist was powerful, he never
let his leadership get the better of him but he was always humble. He
pointed to you and not to himself. Help us do the same please Lord to
point others to your love and affection. We depend on you and ask you
for your help. We want to point others to you and you alone. Thank you
for the avenues you give us. Help us. Thank you Oh Lord. In Your
Precious Name I Pray Jesus! Thanks for all you do for us! Amen!
Pray the
prayer below or use your own words to invite Jesus Christ into your
life and have a personal relationship with Him. Now is the time of
Salvation. Don't wait.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I am so excited that I learned today the beginning of
the Gospel about you. I also learned the Gospel is the Good News.
I also learned the famous verse from John 3:16 that you shared with
Nicodemus. Jesus, this verse shows how I can have Everlasting Life
too. I want that life Jesus. So I come to you right now as I am and
seek you with my whole heart believing in what you did for me.
I still have a lot to learn about you but as I explore your Gospels,
I know you will reveal yourself more and more to me daily. Thank you
Jesus!
I believe that
Father God sent you to earth for us, to die for our sin on a rugged
cross where your blood was shed to save us! Then you came back to
life and now sit at the right hand of the Father.
Thank you when
I was sick with soul sickness, you purchased me by your blood which
alone can cleanse me of all my sin and make me your child that I can
belong to. It is my sin that separated
me from God and you became the bridge for me to cross over to God
because of what you did on the cross for me. Thank you so much
Jesus. Even when my sin made me so dirty on the inside and attacks
of Satan have wounded me, you did not abandon me but came for me. I
am never out of your love and never out of your reach. Thank you so
much Jesus.
I do believe Father God for all that Jesus did for me. Jesus, I know
you care for me and laid down your life for me on the cross to give
me new life as you shed your blood for me to wash away all my sins.
Your Blood became the transfusion for those of us wounded by Satan.
I accept the transfusion! Your blood heals all the wounded areas to
give us a new life cleansing us of our sin. Thank you so much Jesus.
I want that new life that you offer so I turn
to you now as a sheep that has gone astray and ask for your
forgiveness of all my sins! Wash me in your precious cleansing
blood. Thank you for washing me in your Blood. Please come dwell in
my heart and save me Jesus. Deliver me Oh Good Shepherd! Thank you
for your free gift of grace! I know you can save me when I turn to
you and ask you to be my Lord and Personal Savior. I want you
to stay with me Jesus in my heart and make my heart your home so I
can always have you as my Lord and Personal Savior who will guide my
path. Please fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me in the
right paths when I go the wrong way so I can be led to green
pastures. I love you Jesus! Thank you for making my heart your home,
for living in me Jesus and I will live for you and serve you the
rest of the days of my life. I acknowledge you Jesus as my Lord and
Personal Savior believing in my heart that God raised you from the
dead. Thank you for coming back to life to save me. Thank you for
being the Lamb of God. Thank you for being my Lord and Personal
Savior and changing me. Thank you for filling me with the Holy
Spirit and I believe you who began a good work in me will finish it
to completion. I give myself to you, all that I am and ask you to
make something of my life. Thank you Jesus so much. Thank you have
heard my prayer and answered me. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!
You may have felt something, you may
have not, but the important thing to know is that Jesus Christ is in
your life! Don't just go by feelings.
If you have prayed this prayer and meant
it genuinely in your heart, you made one of the most important
decisions in your life. Please let me know as I would like to send
you a free booklet or give it to you in person, to help you in your
daily walk with the Lord. I have read this booklet more than 20
