John 20:30–31 (ESV)
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

John 1:19-23
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." 21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." 22 So they said to him, "Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" 23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."

Isaiah 40:3
A voice of one crying out: Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
A voice of one crying out: Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
Knowing Jesus frees us from making life about ourselves.
When you know who Jesus is, you don't have to spend your life proving who you are.
John 1:24–28
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" 26 John answered them, "I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

You can know a lot about God and still not know Jesus.
Jesus is greater than we realize.
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"

Isaiah 53:5–7a
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter...

If you want to know Jesus, behold the Lamb.
You don't send a lamb when the problem is a lack of information. You send a lamb when the problem is sin.
αἴρω = to take away; to remove
Jesus came to take away what you cannot.
1 Peter 2:24
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Our guilt, His sacrifice. Our sin, God's Lamb.
John 1:30–34
"This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.' 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel." 32 And John bore witness: "I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

Jesus takes away what condemns us, and gives us what changes us.
Ezekiel 36:26–27
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
