17: Jesus’ initial message was identical to that of John. Those trying to explain away the divinity of Christ might say that he learned what to say from John, and that early on that was as far as his message had developed. However, this is not the case. Instead, Christ wanted to connect his ministry with John’s in people’s minds. Indeed, this desire to be connected with John can be seen throughout Jesus’ ministry.
