True greatness
True greatness
Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). It seems like Jesus was mistaken. John fit none of the world’s criteria for greatness; he was not talented, attractive, rich, or powerful. Quite the opposite, really. Look at John, dressed in homemade, scratchy, camel-hair garments, with wild hair full of brambles, living out in the wilderness, scavenging for meals of locusts and wild honey. He drove off most of his own followers by sending them to follow Jesus. After a short ministry he ended up in jail, and soon lost his head at the wish of a dancing girl. John sure wasn’t great, according to worldly standards. Yet the words of Jesus still stand: “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist.” 12/13/2023 05:00 AM
