Subject: What makes John the Baptist greater ? |
Bible Note: Dear friends, I want to talk more about the idea of whose book this is. Is this about John the Baptist through and through. No, it's about God and Jesus,and we say through the Holy Spirit. I don't think of John as being hardly more than a reed shaken by the wind. Sure, he was God's messenger, but he wasn't the Messenger of the covenant. He was one born of woman but he wasn't God's Son. He was a prophet but he wasn't a Prophet. He wasn't more than a prophet, unless you want to call him John the Baptist. But Jesus is a Prophet. And One who is more than a Prophet. "This is the One about whom it is written..." And again I say that this is the book about Jesus, not John the baptizer. Mark 6:15 says in my marked up copy, "But others were saying "He is a Prophet, like one of the prophets of old." Jesus was spoken of as a prophet. Consider one more scripture. Mark 6:4 "Jesus said to them, "A Prophet is not without honor except in (His) hometown and among His own relatives and in His own household." (My own copy, which I don't reccommend by the way) (I'm not JV McGee, by the way) You might consider reading Malachi again, too. I hope all that I've discussed might be meaningful to you.
