John the Baptist
Who was John the Baptist?
A Desert Prophet
Shows the radical behavior of the Old Testament Prophets
Simple Clothes
Simple Food
Has a message like those of the Prophets
Repentance from sin
Coming of the Messiah
The New Testament even gives us some interpreting words
Group Work
John makes 3 kinds of statements in John Chapter 1
3 I am statements
3 I am not statements
3 He is statements
The Old Testament predicts the arrivial of John the Baptist
Isaiah’s prediction is of an announcer to come before God’s work of Justice.
The invitation to Repent- Make straight the desert highway
Mountains made low and and rough ground smooth.
Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the justice of God
Again there will be a pre-event messenger to a new era, where hearts are transformed.
The New era will bring about a season of God’s righteous judgement
Becasuse of Jesus and the Gospel he completes...
Hearts are transformed
The Judgement of God is realized.
Application: John the Baptist is important to God’s story…so what?
John is greater than all the other prophets…
Yet those who are among the children of God are greater than he
You as a child of God are in this category
If John is the greatest man born of woman how do you jump ahead in that category
You have been born not only of woman but of spirit
You may not be living up to the potential giving to you by the new birth, but you are seen by God as among the greatest that ever lived, and everyday you are invited to live into that category more and more.
