Скачать или смотреть Who Was Saint John the Baptist? The Last Prophet & The First Martyr

He was the bridge between the Old Testament and the New—the last Prophet and the first Martyr of the Gospels.

In this episode of The Cross Remains, we journey into the Judean wilderness to meet Saint John the Baptist. Jesus called him "the greatest man born of woman," yet he lived in radical poverty and ended his life in a dark dungeon for speaking the truth to power.

Discover the extraordinary life of Christ's cousin, the "Voice" who prepared the world for the "Word."

In this episode of The Cross Remains you'll learn:
The miraculous story of his birth to Zechariah and Elizabeth
Why he lived in the desert eating locusts and wild honey
The meaning of his baptism of repentance in the Jordan River
His profound humility in the face of Jesus ("I am not worthy to untie his sandals")
The dramatic story of his confrontation with Herod and his martyrdom

Feast: June 24 (Nativity) & August 29 (Passion) | Patronage: Baptism, Converts, Tailors Because His Love Endures Forever.
