His living example along with his words is very necessary for us. The Baptist has initiated in his days a spiritual revolution, a revolution against corruption and spiritual stagnation, and injustice. His revolution was calling for a recommitment and living according to faith. It is a revolution that binds faith and works together. The revolution of the Baptist had a purpose to clarify the notions of faith, beauty, and richness.
Faith is life and work.
Beauty is the face of God. True richness equals poverty in spirit for Christ. Being rich is having a mission. The face of this evangelist may be harsh to us. He clothed himself with camel s hair, and fed himself with locust and wild honey.
