Luke 7:26-28
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.’ 28 For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Prophets reached their pinnacle in John the Baptist, for he cleared a path of repentance for Jesus' coming ministry. Yet we of His kingdom are said to be ''greater'." We have God's reconciliation and redemption fully in Christ's death and resurrection, God himself living in us to reveal His word in a way which only prophets could previously. In that sense we know the greatness of our position and have insight into the things of this kingdom more.
