Reflect The Light Of Christ (John 1:6-7)

Wilderness Devotional

In this episode of The Wilderness Devotional, we meet a wild, bug-eating, camel-hair-wearing prophet from the desert—John the Baptist.A man so outside the lines of what society called normal, you’d probably scroll past him on Instagram thinking he was some kind of conspiracy guy with dirt under his nails.

And yet… Jesus said this:

“Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist.”— Matthew 11:11

Why?

Because John knew exactly who he was.And more importantly—who he wasn’t.

“He was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.”— John 1:8

He knew it wasn’t about him.He was just there to point to the Light.To prepare the way.

And that’s our job too.Not to be impressive.Not to be center stage.But to become like the moon—shining only because we’ve caught the light of the Son.
