Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 1:29

"On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!" — John 1:29 (ASV)

The next day –

This chapter is a record of the events that occurred on different days. Sometimes God does great things in a single day; one extraordinary day may have more in it than a hundred ordinary years. It is well for us to try to live by the day, and not to let any day pass without some good action having been done in it. Let us never have to cry, "I have lost a day."

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

I think I hear the Elijah-like tones of that son of the desert, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)

John lost no time. He had no sooner discovered the Saviour than he bore witness of Him. "The next day." As soon as his eyes fell upon Jesus, he had his testimony ready for Him. "Behold!"

said he, "the Lamb of God."

John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

We ought never to be slow in delivering such a message as that which John the Baptist uttered. I do not wonder that, as soon as John knew that Jesus was the Messiah, he told the good news to others. Have you found Jesus? Tell your brother tonight; or, if not tonight, go as soon as you can, and tell him, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
