Matthew 11:11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

When Jesus said these words, I am sure there were many who did not like them; much the same as today there are many who don’t like being called sinners!

Jesus pointed out that no matter how great John the Baptist was, no matter how much he preached and baptised people, he was still just a man like us.

Believe. Trust. Hope. Wait. Be patient, Christ is still working with us!

Do you enjoy telling others about Christ? It is hard for some people to go out and talk openly about Christ, not just because of persecution but just because that is the way they are.

John faced a hard life as he told people about the coming of Christ. That did not stop him though. He followed God’s plan all the way and gave all the glory to God!

1 Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

What a privilege it is to know God. What a privilege it is to share God. What a privilege it is to be called a servant of God!

Many people strive to become a great leader or a great scholar or lead lives that they think will bring them fulfilment and yet they are always seeking and searching.

When we live for God we have that truth already and we no longer have to seek something new.

I am most happy when I am able to share God’s Word with others; let us start doing that right now!
