1 Cor 1:17-25; Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 10-11;Mk 6:17-29

John the Baptist was a righteous and holy man [pause] and it cost him his life. Truly humble in character, he felt unworthy to stoop down and untie the thong of the sandals of the Lord Jesus. [Mt. 3:11; Mk. 1:7] Once Jesus had appeared on the scene, the joy of John had been fulfilled. He humbly accepted that Jesus had to increase in popularity while his popularity had to decrease. [Jn. 3:29-30] As one would say, he had to make room for the Lord. Accordingly the people would turn their eyes towards Jesus and follow the promised Messiah. No one is saved by turning their eyes towards another person. For there is only one Mediator between God and man, He being Jesus Christ. Most likely, the main reason why John the Baptist is well known throughout the world today is because he was chosen by God to baptize Jesus on the shore of the Jordan River. When the Lord Jesus appeared before John to be baptized, at first, John humbly protested. He felt that he was the one who should be baptized by Jesus. In obedience to Jesus, Saint John the Baptist baptized the Lord. During this event, the heavens opened up and John saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Jesus. And a voice from heav-en said, 'This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.'" [Mt. 3:13-17] To this effect, John the Baptist testified, "And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God." [Jn. 1:34] . Feast Day August 29, 2014
