Greater than John the Baptist?

What does Jesus say about John the Baptist?
In this episode, we will explore key ideas such as:

God's plan to restore us
How Jesus reassures John the Baptist who he is
The greatness of the Kingdom of Heaven.

I’m glad your skills as a pastor aren’t going to waste and you can keep unpacking the scriptures for people as a Catholic!

Keith please keep doing this weekly unpacking the mass. I love it and I look forward to watching it every week to compliment and give insight and another point of view to any thoughts I may have on the readings and the homily our local priest gives. Thank you!

"BOOM" - love the "booms" you put out there for us! Lord, RESTORE US!
Thank you so much, Keith, another "10"

I loved the restoration analogies and I now understand the Matthew 11:11 like never before. Thanks Keith and may you feel the loving arms of our Lord around you today.

In 5 years Keith went from being the cute convert, to the salt and pepper Saint. How God works wonders. Maybe and possibly when we've finished praying the Rosary one day we sometimes will say, "Saint Keith Nester Pray for Us" among the other Greats. GOD BLESS. PAX.

Another good one! I love the restoration approach. Makes it very relatable. Thank you Keith and Estelle 🙏🏻

[mrsandmom]

Thank you for all you do. Stay strong. I’m a convert too. It can be difficult at times, especially when we do not have a large support. God bless your work.

Thank you Keith❣️ The first reading teaches us to Hope. The Second reading teaches to to be patient. In the Gospel we are taught to have an unwavering faith. We need these three virtues always❣️There is so much more to these three readings❣️You have great points and great examples❣️God bless❣️🙏✝️

Thanks Keith, the idea of restoration is very challenging . I am heading towards my 70ies and certainly need a lot of " restoration", but we often compare to the original status, which certainly looked quite attractive at that time, but does ist still fullfill the purpose? Keeping the appearance of old houses in mind, they often Look far more " inviting " than the new, often quite minimalistic looking new houses. They often make you feel solemn? Don't know, If this the right word. But it does not make you feel welcome, just in awe for the looks.
Inviting can be in the poorest hut, because of the spirit in it.
Taking it for ourselves, lights flicker in our windows ( eyes ), coming from our souls, ignited by the Spirit of Jesus.
People long to be welcomed home out of the cold and darkness.

John sent his disciples to ask these questions of Jesus not for his (John's) benefit, but for his disciples benefit, some of whom still clung to him instead of following Jesus. John was always convinced about who Jesus was.... " I must decrease, He must increase! "
