Are you greater than John?

 Luke 7:24-28

After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written:

‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You,

who will prepare Your way before You.’

I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

This scripture is a reminder that those in the new covenant are so much more than those in the old. We think Moses had a great relationship with God, or Abraham, or Isaiah but these are less of a prophet than John according to Jesus and what does Jesus say? 

You're greater.

Think about that.

What you have in Christ is greater. What God has and can do in you is greater! 

Wow! That is amazing.
