THE GREATEST PROPHET

In Luke 7:28 Jesus said, “…there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist.” Why would he be called the greatest prophet? It is because John was introducing the Messiah, Jesus, to the world. Others had prophesied of the Messiah, but John was actually introducing him in the flesh. No other Old Testament prophet was given that honor to introduce God, in the flesh, to the world.

Luke 7:28b goes on to say, “…but he that is least [as a believer] in the Kingdom of God is greater than [John the Baptist].”

We, who are the redeemed in Christ, have the highest elevation in heaven, even above the angels who cannot sing the song of the redeemed.

We, who are the redeemed of Christ have a higher position in heaven of all the prophets before John. There is no higher position of honor than to be called “The Redeemed of Christ” in heaven. We shall be called “Sons of God.” [1 John 3:2.]
