“For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Luke 7:28 KJV
As Luke recorded what Jesus said about John the Baptist, that he is the most significant of all prophets ever born of a woman; yet, in the Kingdom of God, the seemingly least significant are even more relevant than John’s prophetic status according to the flesh! Life begins in God, not our mother’s womb. John pointed out that our authentic origin and innocence are in the Lamb of God Who redeems us. As with John and with Jeremiah, Yahweh says He knew us before He fashioned us in the womb! John continued his ministry when instead he could have become the first disciple of Jesus and entered the Kingdom of God through the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. All, even the least in the Kingdom of God, are greater than John the Baptist. How privileged we are to be in Christ and for Christ to be in us. Thank You Jesus for Your grace! Amen!
