John was here on earth to proclaim all he knew and had seen about the Light i.e Christ.
Jesus Christ said that we are to be His witness whereever we have found ourselves. (Acts 1:8). We therefore have similar purpose/mission like John.
Pretty Well but not very satisfactory. I need to do more.
John the Baptist was hated, persecuted, imprisoned and finally killed because of his convictions and testimony.
Hun! Similar fate but Christ already exhorted me not to be afraid of those who can kill the flesh but not the spirit.
They may believe Jesus and change or not.
