Who Is the Great Prophet of the Old Testament?

Summary

The sermon argues that John the Baptist, though chronologically in the New Testament, is fundamentally an Old Testament prophet, marking the transition between the old covenant and the coming of God's kingdom. Jesus' statements highlight John's unique position as the greatest born of women yet lesser than the least in the kingdom. The practical takeaway is that those living after Christ's coming experience a greater blessedness, and John the Baptist is an often-underrated, foundational figure in redemptive history.
