One of my favorite characters in the Bible is John the Baptist. The thing I love about him is how he lived his life and the sense of his purpose in the light of eternity. Everything John did in his life was to prepare the way for Jesus. Nothing was important to him other than glorifying God and paving the way for the Messiah. This is the perfect example of how we should be in relation to God. Don’t get me wrong, we do not need to live in the wilderness and eat locusts, but we should consciously do everything for the glory of God and to reflect Christ in our lives. John gave everything, including his life, for the glory of God. Are we willing to do the same?
