Second Sunday of Advent: John the Baptist and the Messianic Age- Ep. 6

During the First Sunday of Advent, we focused on the second coming of Christ at the end of time, his second advent. Now, the Church draws our attention to his first advent, the first coming of Christ, as the Messiah, King of the Jews, and the long-awaited Savior. St. John the Baptist, the last of the prophets, the forerunner of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. In this podcast we examine the preaching of the Baptist, and how his preaching plays out in the Gospel of Matthew. We will look at the Baptist in history, scripture and the Old Testament.
