When the time arrived for Jesus to come to earth in the
flesh, it was also time for the birth of one of the greatest prophets who ever
lived—John the Baptist. Who can determine the importance and eternal
significance of John’s mission in preparing the way for the Son of God? His
task was not easy, for the covenant people of the Lord were in a state of
apostasy. Little wonder he was described as a “voice … crying in the wilderness.”
(Luke 3:4.)
But John fulfilled his mission in a manner that would cause Jesus to say of
him, “Among those that are born of woman there is not a greater prophet. …” (Luke 7:28.)
Truly John is an example to us of what a witness of Christ should be.
