Even the greatest spiritual leaders are not the light—they are only witnesses who point to it. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks John 1:8, which says that John the Baptist himself was not the light but came to testify about Jesus. Pastor John reminds us that while we may honor those who introduced us to faith, it is Jesus alone who deserves our worship and devotion. Just as John the Baptist boldly declared, “This is the Messiah,” we are called to point people to Christ, even when it costs us comfort, reputation, or more. If you want to grow in courage to share your faith, this episode will inspire you to keep the focus on Jesus—the true light of the world.
