GOOD MORNING!
“John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey. And he was preaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.” Mark 1:6-7
John the Baptist's entire life was defined by his service to God and to God's Son, Jesus. His clothing, his food, and his tasks were all defined by his ministry -- to prepare the way for the Lord. How could he live his whole life for someone else? He defined himself as unworthy to even be the servant or slave of this someone else, this coming one who is so much greater than he.
Jesus comes to us and asks us to let Him define our lives as well. That's what it means to call Jesus Lord -- we see ourselves as unworthy to be his servants; yet, because of His mercy and grace, we are called his brothers and sisters. For such blessings, we offer Christ our lives in service to Him and his kingdom.
