Christianity developed from and
perfected movement that preceded
the ministry of Jesus. Mark, with Il
historians sense, makes the gospel
Of Jesus Christ to commence with the
work Of John the Baptist. He was
the most dramatic person whose ef-
forts were connected with those OF
the Christ. The Baptist blazed the
way for the appearance OF the Lord
by reviving the prophetic ONCE that
had been without a representative Tor
400 years He gathered up the teach
ings of the past and fulfilled the an
cient predictions by his preaching
His messages of repentance, reforma-
ton and faith convicted men or their
sin and filled them with hopes
through the promises Of the imme-
diate appearance of the Messiah.
Luke linked up the ministry of the
Baptist with that of the world by
mentioning the names of five politi-
cal rulers and two high priests. rms
historical connection reveals TO US
that the age was one of diSYrSaniZa-
tion, darkness ana despair. Ihree

which recalled the prophet Elijah. 1t
was the character of this man from
the desert that gripped them. he
entered the public arena as an un-
known preacher, but in a few months
the nation recognized the power Of
this fearless evangelist. His simple
mode of living was conde mnatlo

them the persuasive power. II Wds
the spirit in whose power John came
