John the Baptist was supposed to point the way to the Christ. He was just the voice, not the Messiah. So everybody's calling has dignity to it and God seems to know better than we do what is in us that needs to be called forth.

WHAT DOES JOHN THE BAPTIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

John the Baptist

John the Baptist

John the Baptist [6][7][8][9][10] was an itinerant preacher[11] and a major religious figure[12] in Christianity, Islam, the Bahá'í Faith,[13] and Mandaeism. John is described as having the unique practice of baptism for the forgiveness of sins.[14] Most scholars agree that John baptized Jesus.[15][16] Scholars generally believe Jesus was a follower or disciple of John[17][18][19] and several New Testament accounts report that some of Jesus' early followers had previously been followers of John.[20] John the Baptist is also mentioned by Jewish historian Josephus.[21] Some scholars maintain that John was influenced by the semi-ascetic Essenes, who expected an apocalypse and practiced rituals corresponding strongly with baptism,[22] although no direct evidence substantiates this.[23] According to the New Testament, John anticipated a messianic figure greater than himself,[24] and Jesus was the one whose coming John foretold. Christians commonly refer to John as the precursor or forerunner of Jesus,[25] since John announces Jesus' coming. John is also identified with the prophet Elijah.[20]...
