Luke 7:28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.’
For Jesus to lift up John into such a position shows how much He knew of the kingdom of God and those who are called to tell of it.
Jesus knew just how important the message was John was telling, but He also knew how John had left the worldly pleasures behind to focus on what is important.
Don’t get caught up in the world; rather get caught up in telling people about Jesus, about His good news!
