John 1:17-21

The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.

This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”

“So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
