John 1:29-34

Seeing Jesus coming towards him, John said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. This is the one I spoke of when I said: A man is coming after me who ranks before me because he existed before me.

I am beginning to paint a picture in my mind of the personality of Our Lord Jesus. You could not tell by looking at him that he was the one. I think he was a quiet spirit, an unassuming individual who was ignored by many. You simply could not tell he was Son of God.

I do not know if I have met any millionaires here in America but I am sure I have. See in the old country you will know that you are with a millionaire. They will either tell you about it, wear it, drive it, or they will tell you by their entourage.

I am so blessed to have lived in two worlds my friends because I get lessons from both.

Back to Jesus. If John had not pointed him out, do you think they would have known? He probably could have gone on doing good and saving humanity in a quiet way. Maybe we need to tap into that. Build the kingdom of God quietly. Almost like building it one person at a time.

Much Aloha
