Advent 2020
Someone Is Coming Who Is Greater Than I
Mark 1:7–8
John announced: “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am — so much greater that I’m not even worthy to stoop down like a slave and untie the straps of his sandals. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!” — Mark 1:7–8 (NLT)
Advent is the time of year when we celebrate the coming of Jesus. It is also a time that reminds us that He will come again. However, most of us get lost in his first arrival on the scene.
When Jesus came the first time, you know, two thousand years ago, he changed the scope of the world. He brought a message of grace, peace, and salvation. It is the basis for the entire Christian faith.
His arrival was prepared by one man, John the Baptist.
There are a few things we need to know about John the Baptist and why he is an important part of the advent season. While this might bring intellectual interest be ready to think more about John’s impact on our life today.
