Quick Overview

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Isaiah 40:3, KJV

The birth of John the Baptist was a miracle.  His parents, the priest Zacharias (Zechariah) and his wife Elisabeth, were advanced in age and childless. The angel Gabriel appeared to Zacharias as he ministered in the Temple to tell him that God answered his prayer.  He also told him about John’s special ministry. 

John the Baptist was probably one of the most unique of God’s messengers.  His look wasn’t contrived to attract a crowd.  It was a line of demarcation between him and the religious leaders of Israel.  Because of the corruption in the Roman government and the religious leadership of Israel, God needed a servant who was willing to sacrifice personal comforts and personal ambitions to carry out this task.  John was completely focused on his mission to prepare the hearts and minds of the people for the ministry of Jesus Christ. 

John’s theme was repentance.  He was as courageous as he was obedient and he fearlessly confronted those who needed to hear his message of salvation and the coming Christ.  He wasn’t afraid of offending anyone.  This ultimately led to his arrest and death as he even openly challenged Herod Antipas concerning his illegal and immoral marriage to his brother’s wife. 

 As this world continues its downward moral spiral, we find ourselves needing the same courage and resolve to preach the uncompromised Word of God as John did thousands of years ago. John didn’t care about political correctness or offending the sensibilities of supporters.  His primary concern was to do the will of God and to fulfill his mission.
