15, 16 (
John 1:26, 27
). No Worldly Aspirations
—The people
thought that John might be the promised Messiah. His life was
so unselfish, marked with humility and self-denial. His teachings,
exhortations, and reproofs, were fervent, sincere, and courageous. In
his mission, he turned not to the right or to the left to court the favors
or applause of any. He did not aspire to worldly honor or worldly
dignity, but was humble in heart and life, and did not assume honors
that did not belong to him. He assured his followers that he was not
the Christ (
The Spirit of Prophecy 2:57
).
