Jesus Said No One Had Arisen Among Men Greater Than John!

Jesus said of His cousin, "Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist" (Matthew 11:11-14). This was the fulfillment of prophecy found in Malachi 4:5-6 and repeated by the Angel Gabriel. Zacharias and Elisabeth had joy and gladness; many rejoiced at John's birth. Angel Gabriel had predicted, "He shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; . . and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God." And he shall "turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, . . to make ready a people prepared for the Lord" (Luke 1:14-17).
