John the Baptist Points to the Lamb of God Who Takes Away Sin | John 1:19-34

This sermon looks at who John the Baptist was and how he prepared the way for Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It begins with the Old Testament story, the 400 years of silence after Malachi, and John's own life, from his miraculous birth to his death. Then it walks through John 1:19-34. The message shows John's call to repent, why Jesus is called the Lamb of God (sacrifice, not softness), and how John's baptism differed from Christian baptism. Three takeaways follow: the Lord remembers his promises, his plan is brilliant across all of Scripture, and even the least believer has a greater place than John. The sermon invites listeners to keep hope while waiting for Christ's return.
