TRUE
John the Baptist never performed a single miracle in his life or prophesied to anyone , yet Jesus said “ Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater PROPHET than John the Baptist.” How come ??
I understand, He was, in effect, the last prophet of the Old Testament, the first prophet of the New Testament, and a central participant in the dispensation of the fulness of times. Joseph said “ John the Baptist had his authority from God, and the oracles of God were with him, and the kingdom of God for a season seemed to rest with John alone. He was a priest after his father, and held the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood, and was a legal administrator, for no man could have better authority to administer than John; and our Savior submitted to that authority Himself, by being baptized by John.” But what made John the G.O.A.T ( greatest of all time ) here is the answer ;
John the Baptist revealed Christ to people . John pointed people to Christ . You are a great man of God or woman of God NOT because of the miracles you performed , the following you have (Big church) or the education you have or the money you have but simply because YOU REVEAL CHRIST the mystery to PEOPLE with simplicity and clarity .
Jesus is the way , the truth and Life nothing matters if he is not made known or revealed .
