John the Witness (vv. 15-18) John's ministry created great excite maent. The people were in expectancy Alt classes were reasoning as to wh< this strange but marvelously forcefu man miglt be. Some thought perhap lie was the Christ (Luke 3:15). T< settle this que tion a committee wat sent to Jerti.alemi to investigate Malachi, the prophet, has suggested tih coining of Elijadh (Mal. 4:5) before tht Messiah should come, and anothe prophecy indicated that the proplie should be like unto Moses (Deut 18:16-1S). Joha freely confesses t< tlfs delegation that he is -not thi Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet pre dicted by Moses. How foolish an( silly are those modern ones vho pro fess to be the messenger of the cov enant or some other fanciful title, in dicating the return of the witnes which is to precede the coming o Christ. John exercises humility in tht way he states his real position thougl he (does apply to himself the pr'opheci of Isaiah (Isa. 40:3-5) which sets forti what his mission was to be.

As the Lamb oj God, Jesus would take away the slo~ of tile world; tihus thte thouight is pri marily that of atonemtent, a substitu tion of aitother and thte deliverance front the guilt of sin. The next da: after John's witness to the delegatlor from Jerusalem, he saw Jesus cominj unto him, and said to the ass'embiet people, "Behold the Lamb of God. This refers not so much to hIs charac ter, that of innocence, meekness anm patience, as to his office, his complete< work of atonement by the sacrifin death wherein he takes away the sin, of the world. On the ground of thi propitiation for sIn which Jesw wrought -(I John 2:2; Matt. 20:28; I: Cor. 5:21;.Gah. 3:13) sIn is remnovet from the sinner as far as the East I: from the WVest. God deatlt in merc; with men before Christ's time because of the lamb which was slain from tin foundation of the wvorld (Rev. 13:8) Ihere John says that at first he- did nol recognize Jesus as the Messiah, but hi does bear record that he saw th< spIrit descending at his baptism, and11 abode upon him. 'The work of Christ Is for tite wholi world till 'ill its sin Is removed, He is actually removing sin from tbi wor'ld, raid whten he conies again, siri will be banished. Luke's rbcord addt that this same Messiah is .to baptiz( with the Holy Ghost and fire. Christians are to be on fire for God, Thte gift of the holy spirit at Pente cost was the first atnd most manifest expression of this power of Christ who is the real baptizer.
