The Baptism of John

Matt. 3:1-12

In fulfillment of his mission as the forerunner of Jesus, John was preaching the message of repentance in the wilderness. As many that heard went to see what John was doing but only those who were ready for a change of life accepted John’s message and were baptised as a mark of separation from others who were still in their sins. The Bible says those who were baptised confessed their sins. It must be noted that prior to this time, there was spiritual corruption in the land and only those who were fed up with their dirty lives were baptised. Are you fed up with your life of sin? If yes, then confess your sins, accept Jesus as your Lord and you will be qualified for baptism.

Point of Emphasis: John’s baptism involves confession of and repen-tance from sin.

Prayer Point:            Lord, I commit myself to You anew today, accept me as Your child.
