As Pastor Reyes looks at the life of John the Baptist and his desire to proclaim the truth even if it meant his life, we’re reminded that we too must consider the cost of being a follower of Christ and choose to follow Him in-spite of what the world will do to us. In Matthew 14:1-11 we see that it did cost John the Baptist his life, but many times it does not cost us that, just perhaps a friend, a promotion, or a creature comfort in our home, will we willingly stand for truth and righteousness like John the Baptist?
