Falling from Fame 3/4

Part 3/4 John the Baptist was making a big splash. People were coming to him in droves. He was leading the greatest revival in the history of Israel. People were repenting and being baptized. John's ministry was going well, and Jesus said John was the greatest person who had ever lived. Then Jesus said, "the least in the kingdom was greater than John." What did it mean? This was not a salvation issue. I have no doubt John the Baptist will be in Heaven. It was a choice to live in the kingdom of God at the moment. Why didn't John follow Jesus or send his disciples to follow Jesus? Why did John not ask to join Jesus as a disciple? Do you check with God or assume you are on the right path? Are you living in the kingdom today by closely following Jesus?
