KINSOLVING
AND FRIENDS
Why Did John The
Baptist Say He Was A
Voice Crying In The
Wilderness?
“John the Baptist said
he was a crying voice
because he was a Bap
tist,” says Kaylin, 11.
I wonder if Kaylin’s
assertion should be con
sidered for a vote at the
national convention of
the Southern Baptists.
“John did not want
them to think he was
Jesus,” said Morgan, 9.
“Jesus was his cousin.”
When the religious
leaders asked John,
“Who are you?” he
could have said, “I’m not
the Messiah, but he’s my
cousin.” John and Jesus
were probably cousins.
The Bible says John’s
mother and Mary were
relatives (Luke 1:36).
John resisted the temp
tation to call attention to
himself.
“John was trying to
say to the Jews, I am
just a person coming to
tell about Jesus,” says
Jessica, 8. “I am no one
important. I cannot save
you from your evil ways.
Only Jesus can. I have
been chosen by God to
come and speak to you.”
Humility is what we
can learn from John the
Baptist. In a sermon,
Pastor Jerry Hoffman
made several interesting
observations about the
questioning of John the
Baptist as it relates to
us. Hardly a day goes
by when we aren’t asked
in one way or another,
“Who are you?”
We often identify
ourselves in terms of our
job, profession or family
relations. Not John. He
gave all honor to the
Lord Jesus. He knew the
buzz from Jerusalem
was that he might be the
Messiah. “I am not the
Christ,” he said.
Next, they wanted to
know if John was Elijah.
In the last two verses of
the last book in the Old
Testament, God promis
es to send Elijah “before
the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the
Lord” (Malachi 4:5).
About John the Baptist,
Jesus said, “And if you
are willing to receive
it, he is Elijah who is to
come” (Matthew 11:14).
In other words, John the
Baptist came in the spirit
of Elijah.
Through his prophetic
message and miracles,
God sent Elijah to turn
the nation of Israel and
its leaders back to the
Lord. Similarly, God
sent John the Baptist to
announce the Messiah’s
coming to Israel and the
impending judgment if
they failed to receive
him.
By 70 A.D., Jerusalem
lay in ruins. Although
Jewish Apostles and
converts started the
early church in Jerusa
lem, they soon found
themselves persecuted
by their countrymen.
Like John the Baptist,
Jesus warned of com
ing judgment. As Jesus
accurately predicted, the
temple and Jerusalem
were destroyed within
a generation (Matthew
24).
To summarize John’s
ministry, Hoffman
writes: “Christ is the
Word of God. We are
simply the instruments
(voices) through which
the Word flows to the
world. John the Baptist,
more than any other
