Summary: JESUS CALLED JOHN GREAT AND WE FIND OUT IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 3 THE KIND OF MAN HE WAS.
TEXT MATTHEW 3-1 IN THOSE DAYS CAME JOHN THE BAPTIST
PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS OF
JUDAEA. KJV.
TITLE THE KIND OF MAN JOHN WAS.
1 HE WAS A MAN WITH A MESSAGE.
MATTHEW 3-2 AND SAYING REPENT YE FOR THE KINGDOM
OF HEVEN IS AT HAND. KJV
HE PREACHED WITH BOLDNESS. - HE PREACHED THE TRUTH.
HE PREACHED WITH ZEAL.
2 HE WAS A MAN WITH HUMILITY.
MATTHEW 3-11 I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER UNTO
REPENTANCE BUT HE THAT COMETH AFTER ME IS
MIGHTIER THAN I WHOSE SHOES I AM NOT WORTHY TO
BEAR.KJV
I’VE HEARD IT SAID THAT A PERSON THATS WRAPED UP
IN THEMSELVES MAKES A VERY SMALL PACKAGE.
3 HE WAS A MAN WITH COURAGE.
MATTHEW 3-7 BUT WHEN HE SAW MANY OF THE PHARISEES
AND SADDUCESS COME TO HIS BAPTISM HE SAID UNTO THEM
O GENERATION OF VIPERS WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE
FROM THE WRATH TO COME.KJV
JOHN HAD A BACKBONE AND HE WAS NOT SCARED TO PREACH
IT LIKE IT IS.
4 HE WAS A MAN OF OBEDIENCE.
MATTHEW 3-14-16
JOHN DID WHAT JESUS ASK HIM TO DO HE BAPTIZED HIM.
SONG SAYS TRUST AND OBEY FOR THERE NO OTHER
WAY TOO BE HAPPY IN JESUS BUT TO TRUST AND
OBEY.
IN CLOSING. WE NEED SOME PREACHES AND LAY MEN LIKE JOHN.
