And
he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins, as it is written in the book of the words
of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.
‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.
Every valley shall be
filled And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
When all the people were
baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed,
the heaven was opened.
And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove
upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said,
“You are My beloved Son;
in You I am well pleased.”
John, the Holy Spirit and the Father herald the Saviour for His presence makes a difference.
All who listened to John realised that John was calling them to a different way of doing things and living.

The people asked John what
should they do differently (verses 7-14);
If we were to ask that question today; the answers would be the same' live lives that reflect who you believe in.
Emulate your different Saviour;
don’t tick boxes but give, share, be fair and honest.

Let us not make attending a Sunday
service be the only reason people know we belong to our Lord.
