John the Baptist had an
Epiphany moment. He saw something very important about his Cousin Jesus. This
revelation was perhaps even more important than Jesus being the Messiah, the
Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. John saw that repentance,
water baptism and the taking away of personal sin was not the end but the means
to an even greater end. Jesus sacrificial death created a new way for everyone
to enter God's spiritual kingdom through belief in Jesus and baptism in the
Holy Spirit.
