It is not strange to me. I find it strange that you cannot see that John was considered the greatest of all prophets next to Jesus. But if John was the greatest prophets and was not worthy to tie Jesus sandel, then, how great is Jesus? Jesus is the Prophet of prophets; Lord of lords. He is the last Adam. It is written, "Kiss the son lest you perish from the way when His wrath is kindle but a little"But John the Baptist was also humble. He did not claim that greatness for himself. He spoke of a greater one who was to come after him. He is quoted as saying:
After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie (Mark 1:7)
So the Prophets never claimed this kind of superiority. This is the work of human beings who attribute to Prophets what they did not teach.
Don't you find it a little strange that this huge doctrine of Christ's divinty was never explicityl mentioned by any of the Prophets? Don't you find it strange that you have to base this entire doctrine of the inferences made from a few verses in the later passages of the Bible?
I absolutely believe this to be true.A greater distinction beween Jesus and any other prophet could not be thought up if one tried. If there is this wide gulf between Jesus and everyone else, it must of been that God had a greater purpose for Jesus as well.
