For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son is the verse that we so often quote. However, we often forget that prior to the coming of Jesus the Lord loved the world enough to send countless prophets. The Old Testament prophets were often ignored, terrible mistreated, and even killed by foolish men. John the Baptist was the last in the line of the O.T. prophets and we see that he fairs no better at the hands of a foolish man Herod and his faithles wife Herodias.
