The baptist . Ah the Judean Desert in the First Century a wild forbidding place at the fringes of the roman empire. This outpost on the banks of the river jordan is home to a revolutionary firebrand who promises the coming of a new savior. His name . John the baptist. John the baptist is the first chapter to the long and amazing story of jesus. He tees it up for jesus to come in and to really be the true messiah. He comes with the fire, and he wants people to feel it here. Who are you . Are you saved . Why do you come here . He even questions their motives. This is a very intense figure out in the wilderness, and the wilderness is where things really happen spiritually. Hes a mysterious figure. Hes strange. Hes out there. Hes dressed in this very, very odd way and slightly dangerous and scary. Yet today, the unique appeal of this charismatic prophet has been lost to history. Who was this fiery preacher who would herald the coming of the messiah, and what was it that drew jesus to him .
