John 1:29

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

John the Baptist preached many a FIERY SERMON, scorched the Pharisees and instructed the people, but the BEST sermon, the BEST words that ever came out of his mouth were these: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” He pointed the people to Jesus and you can’t do better than that. You may not be able to say many fine things, but if you can JUST POINT PEOPLE TO JESUS, you just may help change their eternal destiny. Oh it’s fine to speak a lot of high-sounding phrases and use a lot of big words, but if you really want to be USED OF GOD and help people, remember John the Baptist and just point people to Jesus, because IT IS HE who takes away the sin of the world. Praise His name.
