Episode notes
John The Baptist As The Warm-Up Act
- Alistair Begg compares John the Baptist to a warm-up salesman who points people to the main act.
- He uses Howard Schultz's Xerox story to illustrate John's role as the set-up man for Jesus.
Incarnation As Grace Meeting Need
- Begg emphasizes verse 14 as the fulcrum: 'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.'
- He frames the incarnation as God's grace meeting human need in a person, not a rulebook.
Point People To Jesus, Not Your Story
- When sharing faith, point people to Jesus rather than centering on your own story.
- Focus on who Jesus is: creator, Lamb of God, grantor of forgiveness and life.
