People come up to John the Baptist and say, “What is your identity? What is your self-understanding?” That has a very contemporary ring to it. And it has quite a bit to do with us. 
We’re looking at the life of Jesus and who Jesus is. In the second half of John 1, in this encounter with John the Baptist, we learn that Jesus is the Lamb of God. So we ask, “What does that mean for us?” 
Let’s take a look at 1) John’s view of himself, 2) John’s view of Jesus, 3) the resulting personality and character that flows from those two views, and 4) what that means for us.
