A very beautiful characterization of the mission of John the Baptist was given by his father, Zacharias, who is recorded in Luke's Gospel as prophesying, "And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: to give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins.

The thought of Christians in general respecting the use of material remedies in sickness is that they are the only available means for combating disease, and that their use is therefore not out of keeping with Christian conduct.
