Notes

This week on 10:10 Thrive, we continue our musical devotional journey with songs and themes from our recent production, “The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves.” Today’s episode centers on the powerful moment when John the Baptist first recognizes Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah: the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Jesus called John the greatest of those born of women (Matthew 11:11), affirming John's life of purpose and surrender. Born to Zechariah and Elizabeth, filled with the Spirit from the womb, John prepared his whole life for one mission: to point people to Jesus. His ministry, though brief, was bold—confronting religious hypocrisy, reviving hearts through repentance, and baptizing not for ritual, but for readiness.


Through a stirring musical number, we’re drawn into John the Baptist’s awe-filled recognition of Jesus at the Jordan River. The song paints a vivid picture of spiritual clarity and deep humility:

“Now behold the Lamb, the Promised Lamb of God…”

John didn’t seek honor for himself. He knew his role: to decrease, so that Christ might increase. And when Jesus arrived, John’s voice shifted from thundering warning to reverent proclamation. Heaven confirmed his witness as the Spirit descended like a dove and the Father’s voice thundered approval from above.

Takeaways:

Have you beheld the Lamb—not just once, but daily?
What is one way you can decrease this week so that Jesus can increase in your relationships, your habits, your priorities?
