“If John the Baptist were alive today, people would think he’s zany.”
“I guess so.”
“Can you imagine him walking around our city, wearing clothes made from camel’s hair with a leather belt and eating locusts and honey? If he were to preach about the Kingdom of Heaven in public, he would be arrested.
“He’s still the greatest prophet who ever lived.”

Shalom,

Shalom,
Adele
