John - What A Baptist!
Steve Wagers
John 1: 19-27
Peter Cartwright was a circuit riding Methodist preacher of the 19th century. He was to preach to a large congregation, and right before the service, he was informed that President Andrew Jackson would be in attendance. They told Peter Cartwright, ''We thought you would want to know so that what you say won't be offensive to the President.'' Peter Cartwright said, ''Thank you for telling me.''
He got into the pulpit and said, ''I've been told that President Andrew Jackson is in the congregation, and I've been asked to carefully guard what I am going to say. I want to begin by saying that Andrew Jackson will go to hell if he doesn't repent of his sin.'' You could have heard a pin drop. But, immediately after the service, President Andrew Jackson walked up to Peter Cartwright and said, ''If I had a regiment of men like you, I could whip the whole world.''
After resigning his pastorate to go lead another church, a pastor was approached by an endearing older member of the congregation. She wept over the pastor's decision to leave and said, ''Things will never be the same.''
The minister tried to console her by saying, ''Don't worry, I'm confident you will get a new pastor who is better than me.'' She continued to sob and replied, ''That's what the last three pastors have said, but they just keep getting worse.''
John the Baptist had a resume unlike any preacher before, or after him.
--He shouted 6 months before he was ever born (Most Baptists hadn't shouted SINCE they were born.)
--He never wrote a book, but what this Book says about him should stir our hearts.
--He was the favorite preacher of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(MATTHEW 11:11)
''VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, AMONG THEM THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE HATH NOT RISEN A GREATER THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST.
According to the Lord Jesus, John was the greatest preacher ever born of a woman. He had no equal in character, conduct, or class. He was the G ...
