Episode Notes:

In this special Christmas-season edition of Scripture Unlocked, Pastor Mike Franklin opens John chapter 1 to reveal the profound meaning behind John the Baptist’s declaration: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”

This episode explores Jesus as both Savior and Lord—the suffering servant who redeems humanity and the eternal King who rules in power. Mike unpacks the prophetic meaning of the Lamb of God, the fulfillment of Isaiah 53, and the transition from religious routine to a living relationship with Christ.

Listeners will also discover the powerful invitation Jesus gives to His first disciples—“Come and see”—and what it truly means to remain with Him, not just know about Him. This teaching highlights the difference between walking in God’s purpose, His presence, and His power through the Holy Spirit.

A rich, Scripture-centered message that invites believers to move beyond forgiveness alone and step into daily intimacy and spiritual power with Christ—the true heart of Christmas.

Key Scripture: John 1:29–42
