There are a lot of solutions offered in the world today. Unfortunately, most worldly solutions don't identify the root problem -- sin. In her song "Look No Further," Evvie McKinney reminds us that we don't have to look any further than Jesus for the salvation we seek. Her "look no further than Jesus" response feels like an answer to a question posed in Scripture.

Join me as we take a closer look at the life of John the Baptist and a key question he asks from prison.
