The Gospel of John, Day 2: ch. 1, vv. 6-8

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the

light; he came only as a witness to the light.

God sends us as witnesses to call others to believe the light.  John speaks these words humbly.  He is not himself the light, he himself is not the answer to life's problems,

but tells about the light.  If we are like John, we are not focused on self at all, but we say along with him that "He must become greater, and I must become less." (John 3:30).

 If we are like John, we can be instruments of God's salvation.  We testify to the reality of God's light on our lives.
