Matthew 3:1-12
This second Sunday in Advent we meet again John the Baptizer. He is what Isaiah prophesied as the voice of crying in the wilderness preparing the way of the Lord. His job was to introduce Jesus as the promised Messiah. His message was blunt and simple. People traveled for miles to hear his preaching and to be baptized. Matthew records his message as “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
I have heard people say that too much of John the Baptizer can take the joy out of Christmas. I disagree! Join us today and find out why!
