A Strange Place for a Strange Man
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. Known for his odd diet and unconventional clothing, John was sent from God to break the long silence that lingered after the Old Testament prophets. He announced Jesus in a way no one had done before—or has done since.
