Sublime

JOHN THE BAPTIST was the high-water mark for all under the Old Covenant. But the least in this new era were born to surpass Him through their relationship with the Holy Spirit.

John was at the cross with Jesus. He was the only disciple who remained faithful and stayed with Jesus as he suffered. Their bond pointed to a future reality—a love that every Christian would know with God and, one day, with every other Christian in eternity.

First, although many of Teresa’s original manuscripts have survived, almost none of John’s has. Thus even the Spanish editions of John’s work are taken from handwritten copies, many of which are known to contain inaccuracies.
