THE BIBLE series' John the Baptist is powerfully magnetic. When I read my Bible, it indicates he wore camel's hair and ate locust and wild honey... and he just might have needed a beauty make-over! But still, flocks of people were drawn to him in the desert. The following Bible verse addresses John's call and his impact:
"What did you go into the desert to see?... A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written: 'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
...All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus' words, acknowledged that God's way was right, because they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John" (Luke 7:24-30).
The conclusion of the epic series THE BIBLE airs Sunday on The History Channel.
