John, the Baptist

Praises for the prophet John, many believers found to laud For he was the one to prepare the way for the Son of God John urged his listeners to repent for each wrong doing However, some thought him to be the Messiah, miscontruing. John the Baptist said, "I am not the Christ. I am the voice crying in the wilderness to make way for Jesus, God's choice to be baptized as His son in waters of the Jordan River. It is I who will be called the Baptizer. This task I shall deliver.” In the fall of 29 C.E. John fulfilled his promise with joy but there was one who hated him and sought to destroy the man who preached. A woman who wanted his life, and had him beheaded as a gift. It was King Herod's wife.
