Biblical Wisdom Number Eight

Message in a Body Continued…

John the Baptist is the ‘message in a body’ in this chunk.

John the Baptist is the locust eating, camel-hair wearing outdoorsy guy who chooses to spend his life – or maybe better stated – whom God chose to spend his life – speaking preparatory messages regarding his cousin – the messianic one.

John the Baptist

This guy had a great deal to say regarding how lives should be lived…

  • Make Straight – he talked directly about the matter of clearing debris from one’s life that might indeed obstruct both vision, and then personal outcomes – I spend a whole lot of my time helping people clear debris from their lives

  • The Way of the Lord – he talked directly about the matter of ‘the way of the Lord’ – he knew that humans live life according to many wrongheaded and ill-timed and fully thought through ideas – I spend a whole lot of my time helping people rethink poor – and oftentimes outright dull-witted decisions and their eventual outcomes

  • Woe unto You – he talked directly about the massive burden that religious bigwigs bring upon those they are supposed to serve – I spend a whole lot of my time helping people break free from judgements, statements of shame and the burden of oppressive religious teachings and condemnations that have been heaped upon them – mostly during their most vulnerable and inopportune of moments
