What this episode covers

John the Baptist faithfully ministered in the wilderness, knowing he was called to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. He wanted the hearts of the people to be ready to receive what Jesus had to offer. “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world,” John declared upon seeing Jesus.
