Commentary
The Voice in the Desert
It might be relevant to note three
descriptions of John the Baptist in this passage of Scriptures.
- His origin: He “is sent by God.”
- His mission: “to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.”
- The circumstance or manner of his mission: He was “a voice crying out in the desert.”
How do these things relate to
each one of us?
When I might be the lonely
voice crying out in the desert, John reminds me that, like him, I am indeed sent
by God to testify to the light, so that
all might believe through me (not in me).
