We've all heard of John the Baptist. Many of us see him as an eccentric accent in the story of Jesus and His disciples. But, a large amount of theologians consider John the Baptist as the MOST important figure in the New Testament second only to Jesus.
So, why do so many of us sort of skip over his importance? Probably because we (including myself before this deeper dive into his life) lack the understanding of history and exactly what he did as the last Old Testament prophet.
But John's life is a miracle from the word "Angel". He is set apart, he is vocal, he is a truth-teller unlike any other. And we have so, so, SOOOO much to learn from him which is relevant to the modern church today.
In addition... John is the first trumpeter of Christ. From the womb he knows Christ's very presence. Not to be ignored, the baby-become-God-warrior is a treasure and distinctly inserts himself into the Christmas story and beyond.
So, join us on this episode for a revelation or reminder of John's life, bravery, and meaningful actions so many of us can draw inspiration from today.
In addition, for all you arty-types, stay tuned for a spoken word poem at the end. :)
