The Humility of John the Baptist Toward Jesus
In terms of their birth dates, naturally speaking, John the Baptist was six months older than Jesus, and yet remarkably John said about Jesus:
This is the one I was talking about when I said, "Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me" (John 1:15)
Naturally [humanly] speaking, that was not true—John was older than Jesus, but John knew that there was more to Jesus than what met the eye.
