I have had the privilege to be the “best man” on a couple of occasions. The metaphor John uses in the scripture today is a really beautiful one.

We stand before God in awe of his work around us every day, and have been chosen to introduce Him to others. In John’s case it was preaching and baptism, bringing others into communion with Him for their entire lives. Let us try and renew that commitment today during each hour of the day, rejoicing in his love and blessings.
