—Charaoter and Work of John. Uia
Baptist
John was a great man. In a
eouncln* his birth the angel mil,
“He ahall be great In the eight at the
Lord.” He was not only great hi the
Lord's sight, bat was great wnea
measured bp the standards of men. Ia
the teaching of .this lesson a surrey
Should be made of John's Ufa and
work.
I. Birth and Ministry Foretold
IHatL 3:1; cf. Isa. 40:8).
He waa thought about and bit work
planned long before be was bora. Ha
eama as God's messenger. His Ufa was
a plea of God. Ho waa said to be a
man sent from God (John 14). There
to a tense In which every Ufe to
planned everyone to sent from Ood.
Everyone should remember that Ood
has something to da with his Ms
11. His Charaoter.
L Humble (Luka 3:4). Ha did not
ewft human praise and commendation.
His Supreme concern was to proclaim
tho Christ Hs did not stake himself
prominent—was only a voice ealUng
pon people to propara for the Mes
siah. Hli parson and habits were a
protest against the luxury and kypo
crttleai formality of hi* time.
*- Oonrageous (Lake B:T>. Ho fees*
. S great multitude sad struck hard at
'their tins. He did not trim his mes
sage to suit the crowd. He evee de
nounced the religious leaders ef his
time and demanded of thorn fruits
worthy of repentance.
HI- Hie Freaching (Luka SiM).
‘ I. Demanded Repentance (vv. 84).
Suddenly emerging from his seclusion,
hs cams Into ttto; region of the Jordan
as a messenger'gf Ood, calling upon
the people to reppnt la preparation s*
the coming of the Messiah.
X , Demanded Proofs ef Penitence
(vv. TANARUS, 8). He hisletod that their false
religions be abandoned—their Sinful
heart* renovated—showed them that,
the vll* .passions -of'their souls must
be uprooted. A chango of mind, that
tot the turning of the soul from *ta to
Ood, was necessary. This Is a prepa
ration which must be made before epg
can see and experience the salvation
ef Ood.
IV. Jesus' Test!many te John (Luke
7:24-28). Because John did not see,
the Interval between the “sufferings
ef Christ’’ and the “glory that should
fellow” be was perplexed. Therefore
he sent s deputation to Jesus for light
The prophets did not ee*. or at least
did oot make dear, tba interval bo
tween the ornctflxlon of Christ and Hla
second coming. The two events were
•o presented as to appear to be In close
uocession. John In bis preaching has
stressed the mighty Judgments which
should take place at the appearance of
tho Messiah. Ths turn things era*
taking (hs himself being tmpvisened
with the gloomy proepoct of death),
waa In great contrast to the coming of
tho Messiah In fiery judgment—“the
‘ ax to laid nnto th* root of the trios*
and “ths chaff la burned up with *-
fuenchable fire" (Matt 8:10, 12). The
trend of events puuled him. It was
■ not lack of faith, bat -coufastoa of
mind that prompted hig Inquiry.
Christ's testimony defended him
Against any such an accusation. Christ
vindicated him against a vacillating
mind because ef the storms of persecu
tion. Ho was not 11k* a reed -shaken
by the wind (v. 24). He bad lived a
Rfe of self-denial, therefor* he did uot
! deny hla faith In Christ be cans* of th*
dungeon (v. 28). Jesus declared that
a* greater prophet had irisan. That
which perplexed John we* the delay In
Judgment—the day of God's patience
while gathering out th* Okureh. This
was a truth net dladoeod to the
prophets—that which Paul mad*
known—because a special revelation
had been granted (Bph. 8 4). ,
1 v. The martyrdom ef Jehu (Mark
• *4-29).
While John waa to prism Herod had
frequent interviews with him John
boldly told him that It was unlawful
for blm to have hla brother's wtfs. Ha
.gld not mince matter* ova* with ths
king. This so enraged the licentious
Herodlas that she caused his death. He
pealed bis testimony with his Wood.
