John 1:14-34 The Voice in the Wilderness

 John 1:14-34 

In this episode of Let Me Tell You a Story, Joe McGarry and Geoff Sinibaldo dive into the first chapter of the Gospel of John, focusing on the significance of John the Baptist's testimony about Jesus. They explore themes such as grace, truth, and the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, which Jesus embodies. The hosts address the historical and cultural context of the Jewish people at the time, especially how misunderstandings about Jewish leaders have led to antisemitism over the centuries. The conversation reflects on John the Baptist's role in preparing the way for Jesus and how he testifies to Jesus being the "Lamb of God" who takes away the sin of the world. They conclude by encouraging listeners to reflect on their own calling to point others toward Jesus and live out grace and truth in their everyday lives.
