The Relationship Between the Ministry of JESUS and That of JOHN the BAPTIST Recorded in the Four Gospels Quotes

“Having baptized Jesus in the Jordan River, John the Baptist bore witness to Jesus the very next day, shouting out loud, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”(John 1:29) Jesus received the sins of the world and 3 years after this He died on the Cross paying the full price for these sins. Sin is weightless. It does not have color, smell or shape, and it does not make any sounds. Because one cannot perceive it through the senses (our sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch), we cannot feel it. Therefore, do not try to verify through your senses or emotions that your sins have disappeared. Our emotions change all the time. However, because of the Word of God, the Truth of Jesus having blotted out the sin of the world will not change for all eternity.”
