Good morning Loved Ones. :) As I mentioned yesterday, John answering these religious leaders about His identity, actually tells us not only his identity but also that of Jesus. Now remember a lot of what we know we may think everyone knew back in John's day but what he said must have been pretty shocking to those religious leaders who knew their Bible so well. In, what we call the Old Testament which was the whole Bible in John's day, it says, The voice of him who cries out, “Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40;3 I will send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. He is coming, says the Lord of Hosts. Malachi 3:1 These things where written hundreds of years before John came so that theay and we would know that what God says is true.Now just imagine the shock of those religious leaders who heard Johns response. I would imagine he then had their attention and they knew exactley who he was claiming to be. Not just Himself but that Jesus is the LORD God of whom they write in the Old Testament. I was baptized in 1995 with my wife Dalia, I was so excited to share with everyone that I have a new life in Jesus and baptism is one way to show on the outside what God already had done inside me. He washed away my sin and made me clean. Are you ready to be baptized? Baptism is for believers who want to make it publicly known that they have been forgiven and want to follow Jesus. Let me know if your ready and we'll schedule a baptism asap. Have a great day, Loved Ones, and God bless you real good!
