John 1: 26-27 by ric gustafson
John the Baptist screamed wilderness. He was unkempt, ill mannered, wore camel's hair and ate bugs. He chastised crowds. His message of repentance went out to tax collectors, soldiers and religious leaders.
wilderness living was familiar to the Israelites. Noah and his family, Abraham, Moses were reset by the wilderness.
John the Baptist's message was simple. Repent. The Savior of the world is already here.
John told the people he was not the Messiah.
Jesus did come later to make a straight path in the wilderness. Praise Jesus's name.
