Skandalon II: Blessed is He Who is Not Offended in Me Pt.1

Here are some reasons John shouldn’t have been offended in Christ but it will surprise you to know, the very reasons people should not be offended are the very reasons that they use to justify their offence.

1. JOHN THE BAPTIST INTRODUCED THE EARTHLY MINISTRY OF JESUS John the Baptist was the one and only prophet who was crying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” John the Baptist introduced the message of Jesus to the people. He made the way for the ministry of Jesus Christ to flourish (Mathew 3:1-6)

2. JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS ACTUALLY PREACHING JESUS MESSAGE THAT HE WOULD LATER PREACH The kind of wild and direct messages John the Baptist was preaching is the same kind of message that Jesus would later also preach. John the Baptist knew Jesus, his assignment and his ministry by the Spirit and yet at a point when he allowed himself, he got offended (Mathew 3:7-10).

3. JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTIZED JESUS John the Baptist actually baptized Jesus Christ in the River Jordan. Knowing whom Jesus actually was as a divinely ordained being come from God to the earth to save his people. But Jesus permitted John to baptized Him. So John was not supposed to get offended at all by any means (Mathew 3:11-16).
