"What did you go out ... to see? A reed shaken by the wind?”  

Bible Question Time
NOVEMBER 2024
‘the CERTAINTY of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed’
Luke 1:4

Luke 7:24

The arrival of John the Baptist on the scene stirred up much interest and the crowds flocked to see and hear him. John did not ‘tickle ears’ with his preaching, nor did he court the favour of the crowds. He was not a ‘man pleaser’, and to use a modern expression, we could say of John, he called a ‘spade a spade’. He was unbending in his appreciation of right and wrong. He certainly could never be likened to the tall reed bending to the dictates of the ever-changing wind.  John was fearless in his preaching and forthright in his condemnation of the Jewish leaders. “But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?” It appears the ‘fear of man’, which so often brings a snare, did not mark the Baptist!
