Central Idea: John fulfilled the messenger prophecy by baptizing for repentance to forgiveness and proclaiming the coming of the Lord. Explanations: From verses 4-8, I felt there is a progression from what John did (4-5), to what John wore and ate (6), to what John said (7-8). This progression might be phrased as ministry action, personal description, message proclamation. It might best be pondered as if you were one of the Jerusalemites approaching John for Baptism. You first see him, from a distance, baptizing people in repentance for forgiveness of sins. Then, as you gradually approach, you notice, first, his odd apparel (and perhaps even his diet?), and then, finally in audible range, you hear his message concerning the coming one. In verse 8, I concluded that the baptisms in water and holy spirit were neither alternatives nor a negative-positive unit, but rather a progression from John's baptism in water to the superior baptism of Jesus in the Holy Spirit. Insights: This may seem elementary, but it might be overlooked how there is a play on the words "before" and "after" at the bookends of this passage. The prophesied messenger comes before the Lord, and Jesus is coming after John. This serves to emphasize both John's and Jesus' roles in fulfilling this prophecy. Mark's personal description of Mark (6) comes curiously in between the narration of his baptism ministry and the quoting of his preaching ministry. As noted above, we have an apparent progression from action to description to proclamation. Maybe there is also a subtle chiastic picture (for lack of a better phrase) of people coming to John, John himself, and then the proclamation being uttered from John. Please note, however, that I still have questions about verse 6 (see below). Questions: Why does verse 6 exist, and why is it inserted in between verses 5 and 7? (In commentary study, I have found the cross reference to 2 Kings 1:8, a description of Elijah that John vividly echos, which certainly calls our attention to Malachi 4:5.) The following is my entire Sermon Scope for this passage:
