John 1:118 Some people say that preaching and teaching is under attack. That really isn’t true. There are some yahoo’s saying that “preaching doesn’t work” But it is a way to sell a book! There is an introduction to John the Baptist in the middle of an introduction to Jesus! Why? Exodus 3 If God is who He says He is, and He hears His people, and He is going to move to action….Then Moses had to ask the question…”Why are you talking to me then?” Moses had to ask why would God chose him to do the things that He could simply do himself? When God decides to “flex” a bit, He chooses to use a herald or servant! Isaiah 6 All of it! God sends Isaiah to do proclaim the truth to a people Who will not listen and will not see! Jeremiah 1:410 God wants to speak His truth and spread the truth, but it comes through people. God chooses to use us as His heralds! God does not use heralds because he has to, he does it because he wants to. God chooses to use us as His heralds! He didn’t when he wrote on the wall in Daniel, but He mostly chooses to use us in His plan! After a 400 year break, God chooses to begin working again through people in the life of John the Baptist. He was sent by God as a witness, to bear witness to the Light! God’s method has not changed from the Old to the New Testament. He still uses man to herald truth. Matthew 28:1820 Read prior to this…As He is ascending into Heaven there are still guys standing there saying they are not sure if He is really God. But, His departing words were to go and herald the truth! He sends them out to PREACH and TEACH. It is our calling!
