We need preachers like John the Baptist who will look to the face of political leaders and rebuke in line with God's word. John the Baptist was an epitome of courage, focus and purpose. He knew his role in God's kingdom agenda and he did stick to it. HE never tried to assume the role of Christ Jesus..

From this chapter, I see Jesus' launch into ministry at age of 30 as a great challenge to the youths of today. Indeed, the youthful strength should be sunk into the Lord's service to while the cares of marriage, career, family yet not set in.

God help us - Amen
