Commentary on John 1:26
John reveals a mysterious presence: 'there standeth one among you, whom ye know not.' This is the first hint of Christ's presence in the narrative. The religious leaders question John's authority to baptize if he's neither Messiah nor prophet, yet the true answer stands unrecognized among them. The irony is profound—the one who authorizes all authority stands unnoticed. John's water baptism contrasts with what Christ will bring—Spirit baptism that accomplishes what water only symbolizes.
