But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces! But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written,
‘ Behold, I send My messenger ahead
of You,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’
Who will prepare Your way before You.’
I say to you, among those born of women there is no one
greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God
is greater than he.”
Jesus is once again driving home his
message concerning the Kingdom of Heaven . He uses John the Baptist as His
benchmark. He knew that people were fascinated
by His appearance and his message. Now,
Jesus is saying that if You think he is a man of righteousness, understand
this, that all who dwell in the Kingdom
of Heaven are greater
than that. Behold I say to you come.
Daily Prayer: God sent His son to draw them back to
Him. Over and over He gives signs of His Kingdom, where He reins as
King. Draw us even today to You and Your
Kingdom so that we may dwell in the House of the Lord forever. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
