"A Ministry Foretold"
Luke 1:14-17
John's role was to be almost identical to that of an Old Testament prophet; to encourage people to turn away from sin and back to God. John is often compared to a great prophet, Elijah, who was known for standing up to evil rulers. In preparing people for the Messiah's arrival, John would seek to take stony hearts and exchange them for hearts that were soft, pliable, trusting, and open to change. Are you as open to God as you should be? Or do you need a change of heart?
