Encounters with Jesus: John the Baptist

Encounters with Jesus: John the Baptist by ric Gustafson


John the Baptist was a special person in Jesus's life. He baptized Jesus and was also instrumental in building anticipation for the messiah to come. He preached to the people of Israel that a savior was coming. John the Baptist is mentioned in all four gospels.
According to Mark, John the Baptist was described as the one to prepare the people for the coming of a savior. The only gospel that mentioned John 's life as a child was Luke.
John was beheaded at the request of Herodias and her daughter.
