THE GREATEST PROPHET
HIS DECREASE GOD'S INCREASE. HIS DECEASED CHRIST FULL MANIFESTATION.
Among all the prophets recorded in Scripture, Jesus made a remarkable statement about one man. JESUS CALLED JOHN THE BAPTIST THE GREATEST
Matthew 11:11
“Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist.”
The reason Jesus call John the Baptist the greatest of all prophets,...
1. John Was the Forerunner of the Messiah
All the prophets of the Old Testament pointed forward to the coming Messiah.
But JOHN THE BAPTIST HAD THE UNIQUE PRIVILEGE OF INTRODUCING HIM PERSONALLY.
John 1:29
“BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sin of the world.”
While Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others spoke about Christ Prophetically, John POINTED DIRECTLY to Him.
2. John Fulfilled Prophecy Himself
John’s Life Was Not Only Prophetic but He Was The Fulfillment Of Prophecy.
Isaiah 40:3
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord.”
John was The Messenger Sent by God to Prepare Hearts For The Arrival Of The King.
3. John Baptized the Messiah
One of the MOST HISTORIC MOMENTS in Scripture was when JOHN BAPTIZED JESUS in the Jordan River.
At that moment:
• The Son stood in the water
• The Spirit descended like a dove
• The Father spoke from heaven
John witnessed the public revelation of Jesus as the Son of God.
4. John Represented the End of the Prophetic Era
John stood at the intersection of two covenants.
He was the last and greatest prophet of the Old Testament order, yet he lived to see the arrival of the Kingdom through Jesus Christ.
Luke 16:16
“The Law and the Prophets were until John.”
John closed one era and opened another.
John’s Greatness Was Not In Fame, Wealth, Or Influence. HIS GREATNESS WAS IN POINTING PEOPLE TO JESUS.
John 3:30
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
THE GREATEST LIFE IS NOT THE ONE THAT DRAWS ATTENTION TO ITSELF BUT IT IS THE ONE THAT LEADS OTHERS TO CHRIST.
And that is why John the Baptist will forever be REMEMBERED AS THE GREATEST OF THE PROPHETS.
