KIDS DIESSAGE

“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

Good NeWS!
you above all women, and your child is blessed. 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!
