Summary
But when it comes to affirmation in Holy Scripture, when it comes to the affirmation of people in Holy Scripture, then comes the affirmation of John. Verse seven, as they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, what did you go out into the wilderness to look at, a read shaken by the wind, reads were common along river banks. Of course, a read when the wind would come, it would just blow each and every way, whatever way the wind would go. Jesus is saying first and foremost about John, that there was a strength about John, a strength of conviction. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he, the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. John the Baptist is this incredible position to proclaim the coming one who ends the Messiah and on the cross the Lord Jesus Christ bore all of our sin, all of that which should separate us from God for all of eternity.
