John the Baptizer—one of the most fascinating and interesting characters in the New Testament. Jesus called him the greatest man that ever lived!
Yet John is often misunderstood, appearing as a wild, ranting fanatic. The movies show him shaking his finger at people and shouting, “Repent, repent!”
You, however, know the real John—now that you are one of his disciples! Step into Scripture Bible Study makes it possible for you to insert yourself into the pages of your Bible using this interactive study method. Up close, a whole new John emerges.
The John you know is tough as leather, living outdoors and snacking on locust and honey! He is bold, confronting sin even in the highest places. But he is also humble, thoughtful, and proving to be compassionate with some of the most hated people in Israel (Luke 3:12–14).

John the Baptizer:
Knows who he is and why he is here.
Understands his mission.
Never craves the attention that his entire nation seems to lavish on him.
Steps forward to do a job and back when it is accomplished.
Gives God the glory and Jesus the limelight!

As John’s Disciple, you are:
Seeing him baptize Messiah!
Hearing him call down corrupt leaders.
Listening as he counsels your enemies.
Watching your friend Andrew leave John for Jesus.
Burying John—deciding who Jesus Christ is to you.

John is a compass—always pointing to the Savior of the world. Walk with John in his ministry. Then step out of Scripture and back to today and decide what you think and feel about John and finally, the Lord Jesus, himself!
