1. Jesus is my teacher, I am learning and asking Him to not only give me head knowledge but more importantly heart knowledge, and the wisdom to put it into my life. 2. I usually spend time in His word daily and am so thankful that He has provided His Word to me. 3. I receive His teaching with a thankful heart but I know at times I read it but do not always receive like I should, work in progress. 4. I think I am teachable but sometimes the student ( me ) forgets that the teacher always has my best interest in mind and always knows what I need.

I believe the religious were not comfortable with John because his ministry was one of a personal relationship with God not a religious empty life. John was presenting something real and the people were curious about this prophet of God. The religious leaders were jealous of what John had and didn't want to give up their control of the Jewish people. John understood his mission and gave his all for what he was called to do before his birth. I am sure his father and mother had told him about God's plan from his conception to his ministry. Wherever the truth is spoken, oppostion will follow, especially from the religious that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. John was relentless in his ministry and even though the truth he spoke would eventfully cause him to lose his head he never lost his vision and was obedient until his homecoming.

I love how John right away places Jesus as in the beginning of creation, that makes Jesus eternal just as the Father is eternal. Also everything in life is created by Him and we would not be here if we had not been created of God. God is the God of yesterday, today, and all of our tomorrows. The plan in the beginning after the fall was to send Jesus so that we could have eternal life. Jesus is fully God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are right there is verse 1. I am thankful in verse 2 that our God and Lord never changes, He is the same today as He was at the time of creation. Always loving us and drawing us toward Him. I love to say the great " I AM ", these two words say it all.
