sis of faith is that in the eyes of the Lord, it's the whole journey that defines us—
not just a single event.
You know, when John's disciples left and Jesus began talking to the multitude, He
could have said, "John is such a disappointment! I can't believe it. He was there
at the Jordan River at My baptism… God has dealt with him like no other man of
this generation… he has more knowledge than a hundred men put together. He's
My cousin, for goodness sake! I can't believe he's asking Me if I am the One!"
But Jesus didn't say that. Instead, He said, "Among those born of women there
has not risen one greater than John the Baptist."

"...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.” Romans 8:37-39
