The Crucified Life - Looking at John the Baptist as an example

303 In this episode, I look at the life of John the Baptist and
what Jesus said about him.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:11
Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women, there has not
risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

John, by God's standard, had risen to the highest level of anyone
who had ever walked on the earth. If you continue to read, Jesus
said, (I'm paraphrasing)  you and I are greater than John
the Baptist.

Even if I'm the worst (or least) in the kingdom of heaven, I'm
greater (or have more power) than John the Baptist.
