Shalom,


In Luke 7 we see that the disciples of John were sent to find out if Jesus really was the Messiah. This was the same John who had declared "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29 & 36)! John spoke that out NOT of his own idea, but by the Spirit of God! Everyone, including John, had their own ideas of what Messiah was supposed to look like, sound like, and act like! Jesus came to bring US to LIFE!!! The end result? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that we who are born again, having received Jesus of Nazareth as Lord and personal Saviour, are a completely new creation that never existed before! We have the Spirit of God living IN us! No Old testament "saint" ever did! THAT is what Jesus was referring to when He said this in Luke 7:24-28 (NLT):

24 After John's disciples left, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. "What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? 25 Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes? No, people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces. 26 Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet. 27 John is the man to whom the Scriptures refer when they say, 


'Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, 
and he will prepare your way before you.' 


28 I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!" 

One of us MAY BE the least, but we are ALL in a higher position than they were, by the wonderful grace of Almighty God! HALLELUJAH! Now remember, to whom much is given, much is required (Luke 12:48)!  Let's BE about our Father's business, while there is still time on this earth to do it! Amen!

Shalom in Him!
