As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? "But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who wear soft clothing are in kings' palaces! Matt 11:7-8
John the Baptist came to make a path for the coming of Jesus. Would you expect him to come from the palaces, or out of the desert? Would you expect to see a man dressed in camel’s hair eating locusts, or living in luxury? The ones that missed the symbolism of John the Baptist also missed Jesus. Jesus came from the desert to complete His ministry, not from the seats of earthly power. Until we come through our desert and find fulfillment in the footsteps of Jesus, we won’t complete our ministry in the Jesus style.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
