Jesus Defends John the Baptist
Excerpt: Chapter 23, At Gilboa and the Decapolis
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
Jesus then turned back to the crowd and said, Do not think that John doubts the gospel of the kingdom. He is only asking this question to assure his disciples, who are also my disciples. John is no weakling. Let me ask you who heard John preach before Herod put him in prison. what did you see in john a reed shaking in the wind a man who changes his moods and wears fancy clothes as a rule the people who wear fine clothes and have easy lives are found in kings courts and rich people's mansions but what did you see when you looked at john a prophet yes i say to you am much more than a prophet of john it was written behold i will send my messenger before your face he will prepare the way before you it is true when i tell you that there has never been born a person nobler than John the Baptist. But with that said, people born of the Spirit, no matter how small they may be in the kingdom of heaven, are more exalted than John because they know they have become sons of God.
