What did Jesus really think of John the Baptist?
After John's disciples leave, Jesus turns His attention to the crowd and makes something very clear: John was no spineless, wishy-washy man.
John was bold. He was courageous. He wasn't afraid to speak the truth, even when the truth was uncomfortable.
But then Jesus makes a fascinating statement in Luke 7:28:
"Among those born of women no one is greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
What does Jesus mean by "least" and "greatest"?
In this message, Pastor Jason Medeiros takes a closer look at the Greek words behind Jesus' statement and explores what this surprising comparison reveals about John, the Kingdom of God, and the greatness that comes through Christ.
