This Bible passage also reminds us to analyze a person by their works and not so much by their methods. This is because though John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were serving the same God, they were using different methods to achieve their goals. And, though their methods were diametrical opposites, we know that they were both wise since Wisdom is justified by her children (Matthew 11:19) and their ministries produced positive effects.
Therefore, do not remain fixated on the method a person is using to fulfill their God given purpose since A fruit is known by its fruit and figs are not picked from thorn bushes or grapes gathered from bramble bush. (Luke 6:44) Therefore look at the products of their ministry before you judge them and label them as good or bad.
