Commentary on John 1:25
The Pharisees' question reveals their assumption that only the Messiah, Elijah, or the prophet would have authority to baptize. Their logic is sound within their framework, but they fail to recognize that God can commission servants for preparatory work. This illustrates the Reformed doctrine that God's sovereignty extends to raising up servants according to His purposes, not human expectations.
