"I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!" Jesus praised John the Baptist as one of the greatest people who have ever lived. However, Jesus contrasted the eminence of John with that of people who become citizens of God's Kingdom. Jesus said that even the least important person in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist. In other words, the free and complete forgiveness of sins, the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, and having an intimate knowledge of God give Kingdom citizens a position with God greater than even John the Baptist enjoyed. As a citizen of God's Kingdom, you are surely destined for greatness.
