Week 3: Saturday: John the baptist

Jesus had massive respect for John the Baptist saying, “among those born of women no one has appear greater than John the Baptist”. John was called by God to be a prophet and prepare himself to follow this call. Commitment to a goal means some reevaluation of priorities. John apparently wanted to be free of any responsibility except getting ready to proclaim the coming of the Messiah. He wanted people to know that the time for the Messiah to come was near. This meant that their priorities in life needed to be reviewed. When we realized that we were being called to a new life in Christ, we have to examine what sacrifices we were going to be called to make a change of our lives. While we will not be called to the extremes that John the Baptist was, we also need to recognize that life has to be different if we have to remain faithful.
