John the Baptist was the last in a long line of prophets, a messenger who would prepare the way for the prophesied Messiah. He did so by calling for repentance, because the people did not understand their need for a Savior. As Alistair Begg reminds us, we face the same desperate need as John’s hearers. The knowledge of our salvation in Jesus should therefore be the source of our greatest joy.
