   🍃🕊️01/02 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

29 - The next day, John the Baptist/Baptizer saw Jesus coming toward him, and he said, “Look! The Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin  [hamartia / missing the mark - cause of life as we presently know it, entropy] of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself didn’t know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” [And from Israel to the world, Isaiah 49:6 - “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel, I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of earth.”] 32 And John told them, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained upon him. 33 I myself didn’t know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, he is the one baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’  {Presence of God.} 34 And I (the baptizer) have seen and I bear witness, that this, is the Son of God.”
