JOHN THE BAPTIST

Zacharias was told that many would rejoice at his birth. John the Baptist was a very special person and accomplished many things on his mission. In the Bible Dictionary under "John the Baptist" it says he was of "priestly descent through both parents.. He was the outstanding bearer of the Aaronic Priesthood in all history, and was entrusted with its most noble mission"(p.714 B.D.). Many people would rejoice over his birth because he was a choice spirit. John the Baptist is the one who baptized Jesus. John was caring and he had no jealousy, but always to serve others. John was a wonderful teacher and taught many doctrines of this gospel. John the Baptist showed light unto people everywhere, and taught with such a strong spirit and conviction that many believed him and many came unto the gospel by him.
