Luke 7:27-28 (ESV)
27 This is he of whom it is written,
“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
The baptism of John symbolizes our desire to leave the water of those born of women to become the earth suitable to receive the seed of the word of God. The law and prophets reveal our darkness which prepares the way for the light of the world.
Those who receive that light have entered the kingdom of heaven which is the true promised land.
