The (Second) Greatest Person Ever Born

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “To be great is to be misunderstood.” John the Baptist was certainly that! This unusual figure dominates the first part of Mark’s gospel account. Let’s discover what made him so great and why his role was so important to the ministry of Jesus. I. John Was Anticipated by Scripture (vv. 2-3) II. John Was an Unusual Character (v. 6) III. John Was Preparing the Future (vv. 4-5, 7) IV. John Was Introducing the Savior (vv. 7-8) Talk with God: As you prepare for Easter, ask the Lord to soften your heart, deepen your faith, and draw you closer to Jesus. Talk with others: Invite an unbelieving friend or family member to join you for one of our Good Friday services. Talk with kids: How did Elisha display God’s power?
