Hi Cheryl: Yes, it does sound like John is the center of the conversation. I intend to ask him when I see him. I was just sharing something that seems to me to fit better with John’s character. However the text does not say John was offended with Jesus, and it does not say John was not in the Kingdom. These things have only been assumed. When Luke 7:28 says – – “but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” Jesus may have been speaking about His ‘upside down’ Kingdom, wherein the least is the greatest. Our own assumptions are usually invisible to us. Anyway, I think I have run out of things to share on this subject. I will be praying for your conversation with the Calvinists. My experience is that some things can only be out grown.
