Mark 1:7-8

The John in our Scripture today is John the Baptist. He was Jesus's cousin and a very anointed man of God. He had the Holy Spirit while in his mom’s womb. God designed and created John to be the forerunner of Jesus. He prepared the way by teaching about Jesus and baptizing people.

Their Jewish leaders thought he was crazy. They didn't baptize people back then. God specifically planned for John to announce Jesus as a new beginning for the entire world! Jesus came to die for the sins of everyone. What a wonderful new beginning, the day you give your heart & mind to Jesus!
