The first chapter of John has many sayings of John the Baptist.
Most immediately with reference to "the Lamb of God" John the Baptist said that he takes away the sin of the world, and that he (john) was not worthy to even untie Christ's sandal straps.
Both of these statements are key to faith in Christ. The first has to do with the death Christ was to suffer for the sins of the world, and the second has to do with Christ's pre-eminence. In saying he was unworthy to untie Christ's sandals, John the Baptist was acknowledging that Christ was well beyond himself and I am certain he understood from scripture that the Messiah was God Himself (the Holy One of God).

For this reason, He is interest in all members of the human family regardless of color, race, tribe, nation or language. This is just as it should be, inasmuch as the Lamb of God died for all mankind, not for just one people or nation.
What a stirring theme Jesus introduces-everlasting life! Having been given "authority over all flesh," Jesus can impart the benefits of his ransom sacrifice to all dying humankind. Yet, he grants "everlasting life" only to those whom the Father approves.(John 17:3)
