John, amazing!

John 1:6-7 “There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.  He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.” John was born to testify as a witness to Light.  John knew he had the distinct privilege of introducing Jesus, our beloved Savior, the Light, to the world.  Wouldn’t you think John would have enjoyed an elegant life, the most comfortable chariot in his day, food including every delicacy, and honor befitting the one who was introducing Light?  Whenever you think of God’s purpose for your life don’t expect a bed of roses.  When you represent your Savior do so realizing this earthly life is loaded with thorns–Heaven is our Home.
