And John testified, 

"I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he rested on him.

I didn't know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water told me, 

'The one you see the Spirit descending and resting on - he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God."

John 1:32-34 CSB

John was a witness to God's confirmation that this walking around in-the-flesh person was the Son of God, the one John had been preaching about by faith.

John also testifies here of his own calling, a calling he actioned by faith.

For John it was unmistakable who Jesus is. 

He is the Son of God. Identified and confirmed by the physical manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

He is the Lamb of God.

The one who is Grace and Truth.

The Light.

The Word.

The Creator.

The Eternal.

John gives no wriggle room that Jesus is anyone else.

He is the witness to the One he had already been serving by faith, and looking for by faith.

We get to do the same.

And one day all will be made new, and just as Jesus was revealed to John up close and personal, we too will see him, up close and personal.
