Matthew 3:4
v. 4: John lived simply. He wore clothes made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt, and ate locusts and wild honey. His lifestyle showed that he was not interested in wealth or comfort. Instead, he focused on his mission. This also connected him to the prophets of the Old Testament, especially Elijah. His appearance and behavior were a sign that God’s kingdom is not about outward show, but about a humble and obedient heart.
