     | 5,369 views

    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.

    Jesus said there was no greater prophet in the Old Testament period than John. That’s an astounding statement. What made John so great? I want us to look at FOUR marks of greatness in John, so that we can make our lives great too.

    Like John the Baptist, our lives are to point others to Christ.

    “Kiss me Hardy” “Et Tu, Brute” “Strike the tents!” What do these statements have in common? They were each the last words of famous men (Lord Nelson, Julius Caesar and Robert E.

    Yeshua was saying, “Don’t be upset because I’m not what you expected. You’ve got my credentials. Now trust me for the rest of it.”

Nothing had changed. After Herod arrested John for publicly accusing him of incest and adultery, ...read more
