First, Bock notes that on God’s “job list,” a prophet ranks pretty high—Jesus called John the greatest of the prophets. Second, Bock informs us that if a Jew should become a slave, one task they should never do is stoop down to untie their master’s sandal in order to wash their feet. Bock then says, “The One to come is so great that John, even though he is a prophet, is not worthy to perform even the most demeaning task of a slave.”Living the Biblioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267015591878790193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-44960241413384608962012-01-06T11:55:46.021-05:002012-01-06T11:55:46.021-05:00Thanks Ardel!
