John the Baptist

John
A prophet
Prophesied about by Isaiah
announcing the coming Messiah
Preaching: Prepare your hearts
Repent from sins
Baptizing those who sincerely
Repent and believe
Warning all: Bear fruit
The axe is already at the root
The son of a Priest
Pointing to the crowds
The Perfect Sacrifice
The Lamb of God that takes away
the sin of the world
Once for all
Believe in Messiah
