John The Baptist

John The Baptist…

Yochanan the Immerser or John the Baptist was in a sense the last of the Old Testament prophets. He was also a priest, a Nazarite, and Jesus called him the greatest of those born of women.

Yet he said, “I immerse you with water for repentance, but He who comes after me is above me. I am not worthy to untie His sandals.” Everything he was, all he did, said, and stood for – all of it had only one purpose – to lead to Jesus.

That’s why he was the greatest of all. His life, more than any other, led directly to Jesus’s redemption. If you want to live a great life, then make Jesus the object and purpose of all you do. Make Him the goal, aim, and reason.

Whatever you do, do it for Him and to His glory. Whatever thing you endeavor to do, or spend time and energy pursuing, if it doesn’t lead to Jesus, put it away.

Make your life 100% leading directly to Jesus – your words, actions, gifts, endeavors, and your heart. Then, the life you lead will lead to greatness.

When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. Acts 11:23

Today, make it your aim that everything you say and do is aimed at and leads to Jesus.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
