Summary

John was great because he called people to true repentance (not its counterfeits, such as religious repentance, pagan repentance, worldly sorrow, mere confession, blame shifting, minimizing, and excuse making), because he endured impossible people, and because he suffered critics. Above all, though, John was great because he was filled with the Holy Spirit; like a kite filled with the power of the wind, he flew high and strong. That’s such a better life than a kite that never gets out of the box.

0:41.1	John the Baptizer and as we look at his life and
0:45.3	examine his life it gives us an opportunity to not only learn vicariously
0:49.8	from his life but to examine our own. And what we find today is one of the most extraordinary
0:56.2	lives that was ever lived in relation to Jesus in the history of the world and by God's
