Luke 7:18-27
WHAT DID YOU GO OUT TO SEE?
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. Luke 7:26, NIV
God is committed to making His wisdom come in small or 'earthly' insignificant packages. King David was raised as a last resort in his family; Abraham Lincoln was born to a poor family and he lost several elections before becoming one of America's greatest presidents; Ben Carson, the best pediatric neurosurgeon on earth, grew up as a dullard with a single parent; Benson Idahosa, one of Africa's greatest preachers of the Gospel, was once dumped on a refuse heap. They are all heavenly treasures in earthen vessels!
John was not an ordinary man, but a man who was the fulfilment of several prophecies; filled with the Holy Spirit from birth, he baptised the Messiah who testified about him. In fact, Jesus spoke several times about him revealing what a sign John was (Matthew 11:2-19). Similarly, each of us is God's sign from heaven. No wonder He made us each obviously unique, our strengths and weaknesses irrespective.
If you live for Jesus on earth today, just as He testified about John several times, He will not fail to testify about you before God, the holy angels, and before all men.
