John The Baptist

John The Baptist

“Do you know John?” Believe it or not, that question will make a couple of the people who receive this daily text smile. It’s an inside joke. But the question still remains, do you know John. 

We do not get much about John the Baptist in the Bible, but what we do get screams, STRONG MAN OF GOD! Jesus said that there is no person born of a woman who is better than John. Ponder that then read the beginning of Mark 1 a few times to learn the dedication John had for his God given calling. He did not care about anything but sharing the news that the Messiah was coming. 

Are you sold out for Christ or do you “fit” Him into your life when time permits? We need to take a page from John the Baptist’s book and live are lives fully for Jesus Christ. Everything else is meaningless and a waste of our time. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Mark 1:6-8

6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locustsand wild honey. 7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
