LUKE 7:28, C. H. Cayce In 1928 Brother J. E. Willis, Saltillo, Tenn., requested our views on this text. It reads, “For I say unto you. Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” There was no greater prophet than John. But he was not in the church. He made ready a people the Lord had prepared. He made them ready for the organization of the Lord’s kingdom, or church, by baptizing them. Jesus took the material John baptized—such of them as He pleased—and organized His kingdom. Jesus was baptized by John. Hence Jesus Himself was a member of that church or kingdom; and He was greater than John the Baptist. John said, “He must increase; but I must decrease.” Jesus placed Himself as servant—as least —in the kingdom; and He was greater than John. The Primitive Baptist, September 5, 1935.
