No one is greater then John the baptist!
mercie:
For we are Born of Spirit Not Flesh , Flesh and Blood can not inherit the Kingdom.
as Paul says
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Beautiful. We ought to be able to look at Matthew Mark Luke and John and know that the man who said those words is in us, so we are saying those words and doing those things right now. God's plan is amazing. He doesn't just want one begotten Son. HE WANTS BILLIONS! :D
Say that in many churches and you might get the boot. They can't face their inheritance right now. Soon!
Daniel:
2Cr 4:18 While we LOOK NOT AT the things which are SEEN, BUT AT the things which are NOT SEEN: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, "because" it SEETH HIM NOT, "neither" knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.[/u]
Heb 11:27 BY FAITH he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as SEEING HIM who IS INVISIBLE.[/u]
Heb 11:1 Now FAITH "IS" the SUBSTANCE of "things" HOPED FOR, "THE EVIDENCE" of things NOT SEEN.[/u]
CHRIST "IN US" is OUR HOPE of GLORY, and FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED FOR... Faith, hope, and the Author of our faith perfects it in Himself as we are "perfected IN LOVE"
Its like the "tenth" in us that shall RETURN (as His word does not return VOID) but accomplishes what He has purposed. The Holy Seed is the Substance "thereof" who returns to be EATEN.
The HIDDEN MAN is as HIDDEN MANNA :D
TASTE and SEE, its HIM :D
Daniel

Daniel Brother.

John the baptists life has great spiritual meaning for us. And more so, his death.
(Mat 14:3) For seizing John, Herod bound him and put him into prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
(Mat 14:4) For John said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
(Mat 14:5) And desiring to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they held him as a prophet.
(Mat 14:6) But a birthday feast for Herod being held, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod.
(Mat 14:7) So then he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
(Mat 14:8) But she being urged on by her mother, she says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
(Mat 14:9) And the king was grieved, but because of the oaths, and those who reclined with him, he ordered it to be given.
(Mat 14:10) And sending, he beheaded John in the prison.
(Mat 14:11) And his head was brought on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
(Mat 14:12) And having come, his disciples took the body and buried it; and coming, they reported to Jesus.
(Mat 14:13) And having heard, Jesus withdrew privately from there in a boat, into a deserted place. And hearing, the crowds followed Him on foot out of the cities.
Notice the reasoning of Herod beheading John. Also the daughter who pleased Herod and who was influencing her. I think they have spiritual applications. Also, when Jesus heard of Johns death, He withdrew privately in a boat, into a deserted place.
(Mat 3:1) Now in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the deserted places of Judea,
On news of his death, Jesus departs on a boat, into a deserted place. Interesting?
God bless,
