Luke 7:26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Jesus did not describe John the Baptist as an ordinary person but rather as “more than a prophet”!
That means that God held Him up as much more than just a person who was willing to go out and spread the Gospel.
God did not require that John was able to do many miracles or that he was a charismatic man who drew great crowds because of how he dressed or spoke…
God required a simple man to step forward and speak the truth.
