In our Gospel (Luke 7:24-30), Jesus if given some pretty darn high praise to John the Baptist. John baptizes and preaches of repentance, and many people follow him and listen to his message. Jesus tells the crowds that John is greater than all prophets and that no other person born of a woman is greater than him!
John was the messenger that scripture spoke about (Malachi 3:1). He is the messenger that will prepare the way for the Messiah! He prepared the way for Jesus and pointed people to Him!
I want to live a life more like John. I don't want to care what people think about how I dress or what I eat! I want to be totally humble and obedient and point people to Jesus. I don't want people following me, I want them to follow Jesus!
