Summary
This is in the prophet, so you're going to find yourself in the middle of scripture, you'll find Psalms and Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, keep on going past Ezekiel past Daniel, when you find yourself at, oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to Malachi, or Micah right now, and I need to go to Malachi. In fact he was so great that Jesus says there was no greater prophet, born of women than John the Baptist. Isaiah prophesied on that day the death shall hear the words of a scroll and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see the meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord and the neediest people shall exalt in the holy one of Israel. The good news, God's word unfettered that you are indeed forgiven, that the light has come into this world, that the light Jesus Christ, God in the flesh entered into creation and lived his life perfectly and lived fulfilling every single promise that was prophesied by the great prophets of old, giving sight to the blind, making the deaf to hear, comforting those who are poor in spirit, bringing joy to all who are in darkness. When Jesus says that there is no greater profit than John the Baptist and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than He, note that He says of John the Baptist that John the Baptist is greater than those who are born of woman. John the Baptist the great prophet came proclaiming the darkness so that people would turn to the light in Advent, in Advent we turn to the light that has already come to the world and we prepare knowing that He will come again and that we will be in His glory and His light from now through all of eternity.
