Summary: God used John the Baptist solely to prepare people for the coming of Christ. John's life teaches us that to fulfill our true purpose, we have to be satisfied with knowing we won't receive the glory for our actions, but instead, we'll be able to point others to Jesus through the things we say and do. And when we're obedient to God, we don't seek "15 minutes of fame" for ourselves -- we seek an eternity spent glorifying Him.
