The Elijah Syndrome (Part Two)
CGG Weekly by David C. GrabbeJesus identifies John the Baptist as the Elijah to come. John was basically a voice crying in the wilderness, a voice that God used to prepare the way for His Son, and a voice without a single miracle to back it up. Faith comes by hearing, not by witnessing mighty demonstrations of power. God favored a still small voice over excessive displays of power or showy miracles when a voice would suffice, as seen when God passed by Elijah with wind, earthquake, and fire yet was not in them. God reveals that He is not in excessive displays of power when a voice will suffice.
