A Strange Place for a Strange Man

by Alistair Begg

Luke 3:1
 (ID: 2068)

John the Baptist had two assignments: the first was to prepare the way for Christ, and the second was to get out of the way. In this message, Alistair Begg describes this remarkable man and his timely message.

He announced Jesus in a way no one had done before—or has done since.
