This passage was just another reminder to me of how carelessly or mindlessly I have been reading the Bible. It's like the first time I got to really see what a person John the Baptist was like.
Instead of a 'model person' with gentleness, politeness, loving gestures, kindness with people... etc. John was actually quite a character, with strong words and quite a hot temper! Actually, reading the bible carefully, I found that there was never a 'soft' version of John the Baptist ever portrayed in the bible! It was all just my impression - wrong impression!
Just a reminder to myself - that I really need to READ the bible as it is written, rather than relying on my impressions or thoughts in my mind.
