Following Yeshua’s 40 days in the wilderness, He returned to
the place across the Jordan river where John was still preaching and baptizing
the people of Judea and surrounding areas who had come to hear John’s message
of repentance and return to the Torah of God.
While speaking and teaching his many disciples, John saw Yeshua
approaching, and made a special announcement.
John was pointing out someone in the crowd. Were his disciples straining to see who it
might be that John called “the Lamb of God?”
Yeshua was certainly not the blue eyed, fair haired individual depicted
in numerous paintings and such that permeate our culture today. Yeshua would have looked gaunt and weathered
after forty days of fasting in the wilderness. Yeshua did not, as yet, have an
entourage of disciples and there was nothing to distinguish Him from the rest
of the crowd. But John recognized Him
and understood that the world was about to change.
