Luke 1:76 “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest;
For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,”
The ministry of John was the confirmation of the identity of Jesus as the Messiah. And yet, the Jews as a whole failed to understand. How is that possible?
Remember that the Old Testament prophets were not well received either. Since the time of Moses, the nation has turned their backs on the Lord time and again. And, this is hardly limited to the Jews. Humanity as a whole has done the same.
Heavenly Father, be merciful to Your people! We have all gone out of the way. But, You are the One who draws us to Yourself. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
