:, ‘_ ,,. 9 KIDS DIESSAGE by Theresa Murray theresa@masoncounty.com “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none 'is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he is!” —Matthew 11:11 NLT That is a pretty high compliment from JeSUS! Wow! In the verse before, Jesus is saying that John was the messenger prophesying about Jesus: “John is the man to whom the Scriptures refer when they say, ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’ John was the one who began baptizing with water, preaching the kingdom of God was at hand—t0 repent and be saved. He even got to baptize Jesus, although he did not feel worthy! Did you know John and Jesus were cousins? Yep! the King James version uses the word cousin, instead of relative. John was older than Jesus by about six months! His mother, Elizabeth, was Mary’s cousin—- Mary went to see her after her vision of becoming pregnant with Jesus. (Luke has the detailed account in chapter I) When Elizabeth saw her, she gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed StE. avid or Wales I’ISCOI’AL CHURCH SUNDAY SERVICES Join Us for Online Worship at 10:30 am.

Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me? When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.” Luke 1:42-45. When I was in California last week, I saw a bunch of cousins. It made it even more real to me, imagining Mary running off to see Elizabeth! Now, Elizabeth was much older than Mary, and unable to conceive, so Zechariah (John’s Dad) had received a vision from God also: ‘While'Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right ofthe incense altar. Zechariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him. But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John. You will have great joy and gladness, andmany will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth. And he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God. He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.” Luke 1:11-17 I found it very interesting that, when Zechariah questioned the angel how that could be possible, he was made unable to speak, until 8 days after John was born! It was only when he wrote ‘His name is John’ that his silence was broken. We should never doubt God,_ even when things seem impossible! And John grew up just as prophesied. You should read about him! .And next time you’re playing with your cousins, remember Jesus and John were cousins! «a»? 12121Connection Street, Shelton 0 360426.861 1 Rev.
