John the Baptist, like the Twenty-four Elders in Revelation, submitted unconditionally to God’s will; this is worship in its purist form. God has given everything we have, providing us a special, deliberately arranged connection back to Him. We have an opportunity to reciprocate God’s unfathomable generosity. <\/p>\n
