Jesus is Better

John the Baptist's disciples get in a conversation with a fellow Jew about a purification ritual - which turns their attention to Jesus' actions in baptizing. they seem to be quite shocked that he is doing precisely what John was (quite literally) known for doing. But John's answer is what we have come to expect from him: humble and Christ glorifying. Friends, Jesus is better, more important, and worthier of every good thing than you. Whether God puts you in palaces or in prisons, he does so for the sake of his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Here we examine John's response, and see why the Baptist thinks that Jesus is better.
