From The Pulpit To The Streets (stdavidsacna)

In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus speaks to us concerning John-the one who preached repentance; the one whom people thronged to see and hear; the one who was imprisoned. Jesus pays him the highest compliment when He said, "Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist." And in His subsequent words Jesus draws us all in: "Yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
