Sent There Instead

Baptisms There Rather

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizes thou then, if thou be

not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one

among you, whom ye know not;

  • We all have a lot of unknowns in this life
  • And for John it started off quite
  • That it to say in a relative way that he pointed the way back to his Father in heaven
  • Perhaps he knew him not there for sure but then neither did the ones he would witness there too
  • Indeed of such did it drew, that of the Saviour that knew
  • While John might have been affecting the body or giving baths for a time there came in One in this a greater divine
  • That is to say, he was higher therefore and not anymore
  • They knew him not as the Scripture had said because they were not of him to begin with starting off quite
  • Often times in this life we start looking for enemies and people to blame but then comes along One without name who unto is tame

There the Matter

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I

am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was

baptizing.

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb

of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before

me: for he was before me.

31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel,

therefore am I come baptizing with water.

  • He was before all along and after there for the time
  • John in fact was not worthy at all except being a footnote there in the story, a postscript on the way there to glory
  • The unloosing therefore should have just been that of the Lord
  • You cannot therefore be expecting a providing there rather and also a saving except that he had not first drawn off his shoe and showed us thereto
  • Indeed, he came along next, showing up just in the place where he happened to best
  • John came to point the way to the Lord and not a taken before
  • Of such is it swore as of the kingdom thereof
  • That is where he is manifest to at the time is Israel and the kingdom divine
  • Sometimes there are some states in this life that are not quite where we would start off like a baptism with water and all that comes from the heart
  • He is the Lamb that takes away sin because there is nowhere else to begin
  • Just as Abraham as the fathers ago had built there an altar and of such did he know
  • Then he brought there his son meaning just to sacrifice one hoping that all would be right with the Father again when once for sin this one had been
  • Then there was a ram just caught in the bush by the horns and all had been well just as he sworn
  • Satan of course there had opposed at the time, but that was in this divine, a story therefore and not anymore

Sent Him There

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a

dove, and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same

said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining

on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek

ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,)

where dwellest thou?

  • The Spirit may appear just like our own there at times yet it is not and in this divine
  • Thusly it is that he said and is there in every spare breath of his Word
  • That the baptism is eternal therefore and not anymore
  • He might speak to us there in the language of the come again where as in Master, where do you live and so a come again give
  • Thus it is not our spirit therefore but a witness above given eternal and that of the blood
  • It came without name on visions and wings but yet there was no mistaking in this the peace that he gave
  • As in the stories is taken when David and Bathsheba had talked about Nathan, that is to say, the free Spirit of the Lord that upheld them there where they fell
  • These had in fact been upheld by the breath of the Lord
  • Thus it is a remaining therefore an abiding a continual matter
  • That was not a there for the time and gone with the chime of whatever stray thought crossed our minds
  • That can certainly happen there sure when he is grieved enough or on out the door
  • Though in the abiding is a beholding there rather, as with open faces that of the Father beholding there also
  • Thus the record he gave that in this was made
  • It is a sealed of the Son and made unto there One

A Not Anymore

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and

abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew,

Simon Peter's brother.

41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found

the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art

Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation,

A stone.

  • If you think that is bad for sure you ought to try a living there with the Lord
  • In fact, these two just moved on in it is told and there with abide, in fact is is a common thing there at times
  • After all, it is said that when he knocks there at the door as of our hearts or anything else it is swore he would make his home there with us therefore
  • When once entered in we would have ceased from the sin
  • Hopefully for that is where he has all power there from to change things within and so then just to bring them on in
  • When once we have ceased from our sin there is abiding within
  • Though for sure what do you make of this last one there that was brought to the Lord
  • Perhaps it matters not what is said at the time just what what Christ has in mind
  • Then can you explain what was said, for sure I cannot and there with it read
  • Thusly there should be something of witness and also a knowledge there surely as of there of the Father
  • By the which he knew of us first and made them the most thus in him exist and of him subsist
  • By the which there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother thereof and that would be the Lord that is swored as of in this his eternal sword
  • A light for this time and an in this divine
