I particularly liked the overlap of Zechariah at John’s dedication with John at his death. And with John’s last words of Thanks. How better to show his life dedicated to serving the Lord.
I think John the Baptist was shown as the last link of the OT prophets to the Gospel.
The actor played JTB with such good Jewish humor too.
While it was of course a sad scene, it gave way to such Hope!!
Even subtler was the undercurrent of Jesus’s reaction. He knows this is the way He walks too - into death to change death for His followers.
I pray that people of weak or little faith will begin to seek this Hope for their lives. I pray I can seek this Hope too!!
