Men and Women in the Bible: John the Baptist, the Forerunner to the King

Returning to our series, Men and Women in the Bible, James Meyers discusses the final Old Testament prophet, John the Baptist. His ministry was of a radical nature, commanding the Jews to be baptized, a rite which was then only given to proselytes converting to Judaism. This was to “Prepare the way of the Lord,” and the warnings of which he preached were piercing and scandalous to the religious leaders of the day. As great a canvas as is the account of John, James introduces his ministry prior to discussing the sacrament of baptism in our sermon for today.
