    John set the stage for Christ but he also provided a model for what would become a sacrament in the church, Baptism

    John the Baptiser This is how it all began! For thirty years Jesus had lived a life of obscurity as the son of Joseph the carpenter. He had been like all the other boys, had grown into a man and took over his father’s business. And now his ministry was about to begin in earnest. But it ...read more

    That is a powerful statement and deserves an in-depth study.

    Jesus declared John the Baptist to be the greatest “among those born of women” (Matthew 11:11a) (Heretofore referred to as John). That is a powerful statement and deserves an in-depth study. This message is about his lineage and life, and what we can learn from him. He is a pivotal figure in the ...read more

    Jesus testifies of John.

    WHAT WENT YE TO SEE? Luke 7:24-30. “What went ye out into the wilderness to see?” (LUKE 7:24-26). As John’s disciples set off back towards the prison-house, Jesus addressed the crowds who had gathered around Him. Did the people go out to see a reed shaken in the wind? Surely not, for John was ...read more

    It has to do with Messianic expectations.

    Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter 2025 Why is it, do you think, that the vast majority of the Jews living in the early days of the Church found themselves unable to believe in Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God, the answer to their prayers and the fulfillment of the OT? After all, He had lived ...read more

    John the Baptist knew who he was not and who he was, and accepted his task of pointing to Christ. Our mistakes are imagining that we are more than we are, or that we are less than we are. The real task is: just point to the light.

    My son and his wife live in a five-level townhouse in Reston, Virginia. You enter into a kind of combination corridor and stairwell at the second level. Typically I turn right when I arrive and go into the kitchen area. But when I leave that level to go to another one, I walk out of that kitchen ...read more
