The Testimony Of John The Baptist

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2021

John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

They wish to stay blind to the obvious and shut their ears to the truth that we are ...read more
