The Power of the Incarnation

In this episode of Gospel in Life, Tim Keller explores John the Baptist's self-image and view of Jesus from John 1:19-28, emphasizing the profound changes in John's inner life despite his limited knowledge compared to modern Christians. Keller contrasts John's low self-assessment with Jesus's high praise of him, highlighting John's unique combination of humility and boldness. He argues that this blend stems from an identity not based on performance but rooted in a relationship with Jesus, who performed perfectly for humanity. Keller concludes by challenging listeners to embody this Christian identity, marked by both humility and boldness, and to share their faith, becoming voices pointing others to Jesus.
