On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss John the Baptist once again – this time his appearance at the beginning of John's gospel. They discuss the difference between a sign and a sacrament, with the prophets signifying Christ, but Christ being the thing itself when it comes to the gospel. This episode also examines what it means for John to hold the preaching office, which means that he doesn't merely point to Christ, but that John also hands him over to his hearers.
